Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation based in Stratford, Connecticut, manufactures rotary-wing aircraft components and related aerospace parts for the Department of Defense, U.S. Coast Guard, and other federal agencies as a prime contractor competing exclusively in full-and-open procurements with no small business set-asides. The company is a large for-profit manufacturer specializing in Original Equipment Manufacturer supply and logistics support for military helicopter platforms including the MH-60T, UH-60M, H-60, and H-53E series, with performance locations in Stratford, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas; Poquonock Bridge, Connecticut; and subordinate international facilities operated through named subsidiaries including Sikorsky Support Services Inc., Helicopter Support Inc., Sikorsky Aircraft Australia Ltd., and Polskie Zaklady Lotnicze SP Z O O.

Sikorsky's federal award footprint centers on component procurement—structural parts, rotor blades, fasteners, seals, assemblies, and associated hardware—ordered through multiple indefinite delivery vehicles by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Naval Supply Systems Command (NSSC), and the U.S. Coast Guard. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 97 percent of recent awards: Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads with 336,054 awards valued at $6.29 billion combined potential value; Naval Supply Systems Command follows with 6,153 awards at $21.09 billion; Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime with 3,592 awards at $61.6 million; the U.S. Coast Guard with 3,286 awards at $3.23 billion; and the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command with 3,208 awards at $9.6 billion. The dollar rankings diverge notably from the count rankings—Naval Air Systems Command, though not the largest by award volume, anchors $29.5 billion in combined potential value across 713 awards, making it the single largest dollar customer. The concentration of 97 percent of awards across these five agencies reflects Sikorsky's positioning as a dedicated rotary-wing component supplier to core Defense and Coast Guard logistics streams rather than a diversified federal contractor.

Sikorsky places task orders under multiple DLA and NSSC indefinite delivery contracts and basic ordering agreements. The top parent vehicles by task order volume are Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A515D0018 (224,638 task orders, $507.7 million combined potential value), Basic Ordering Agreement SPRPA117GC101 (14,477 task orders, $605 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4AX14D9421 (13,506 task orders, $16.9 million), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A515D0019 (12,024 task orders, $50.4 million), and Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A122G0005 (10,220 task orders, $429.2 million). The Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement covering H-60, H-53E, and Foreign Military Sales aviation requirements establishes framework terms under which delivery orders flow for stabilator assemblies, servocylinder assemblies, aircraft blower units, accessory gearboxes, rotary-wing blades, shaft assemblies, spindle assemblies, actuators, control modulators, drag beams, hub sub-assemblies, electrical strips, fold hinge assemblies, and fasteners, with all orders employing firm fixed-price terms and completion dates extending through 2029.

Sikorsky's recent activity has declined year over year, from 29,017 awards in 2022 to 8,725 awards in 2026, reflecting a transition from high-volume micro-purchases to larger task orders under consolidated vehicles or a portfolio rebalancing within the parent. Of the combined $96.09 billion in potential value across all 361,671 prime awards, $16.56 billion (combined potential value across 3,067 awards) reaches ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating material recompete exposure. The company's top NAICS categories are Aircraft Manufacturing (237,357 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (104,736 awards), with top Product Service Codes spanning Airframe Structural Components (93,871 awards), Helicopter Rotor Blades, Drive Mechanisms and Components (49,619 awards), and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (26,946 awards). SCI-reported federal service contract invoicing totaled $546 million across FY2022–FY2025, with FY2022 carrying the bulk ($538.7 million across 481 FTEs). The sharp drop in subsequent years (FY2023: $1.8 million, FY2024: $1.7 million, FY2025: $3.8 million) reflects a shift in the contract mix toward goods and component procurement rather than services above the SCI reporting threshold. On SCI-reportable contracts, government-paid median hourly rates ran around $202.39/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $600.10/hr at the 90th percentile. Sikorsky operates as a prime-only organization on federal work with no named subcontractors appearing in recent awards, building delivery wholly within company resources and subsidiaries rather than through teaming arrangements.
