Skyspares Parts Inc.

Skyspares Parts Inc., a small business manufacturer and supplier of specialized aircraft parts and components based in Riverside, California, operates as a prime contractor delivering fabricated aerospace hardware and mechanical components to the Defense Logistics Agency and subordinate commands. The company is structured as a Subchapter S corporation with registered federal contracting activity since 2002, competing predominantly full-and-open against unrestricted solicitations rather than in set-aside categories, though roughly one-third of its awards carry total small business set-aside designations reflecting its small business status.

Skyspares' customer footprint is heavily concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency ecosystem. DLA Aviation accounts for 1,579 awards representing 42.2 million dollars in combined potential value—roughly 91% of recent activity by count and 77% by dollars. DLA Land and Maritime adds 473 awards worth 6.7 million dollars. Three subordinate DLA buying offices—DLA Troop Support Hardware, DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment, and the parent DLA entity—account for an additional 8% of awards and 5% of potential value. This concentration reflects Skyspares' core business: supplying replacement aircraft parts, fasteners, mechanical transmission components, and hydraulic system elements through DLA's indefinite delivery contract vehicles. The company has filed 2,731 total awards since 1980, with activity stable at 130–195 awards annually over the past five years; the source snapshot covers only recent months, showing 33 awards year-to-date in 2026.

Capability framing: Skyspares manufactures and supplies cable assemblies, tube assemblies, pistons, torque tubes, strut assemblies, bolts, pins, bushings, fittings, actuators, cylinders, rods, shaft assemblies, springs, valves, and fastening hardware—the component classes tracked under top NAICS codes 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing), 332721 (Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing), and 336412 (Aircraft Engine, Nonaircraft Engine, and Auxiliary Power Unit Manufacturing). Representative work includes a $207.2 million vane axial fan purchase order from DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (December 2024), a $112.3 million spur gear order from DLA Land and Maritime (February 2026), and a $91.1 million total small business set-aside for spur gears (July 2025). Recent smaller orders typical of the DLA Aviation transactional pattern include a $28.9 million rod assembly door (March 2026, total small business set-aside), a $23.4 million bolt order (April 2026, total small business set-aside), and a $16.6 million linear piston rod (September 2025, non-set-aside). Orders are firm fixed-price purchase orders and delivery orders ranging from $1,000 to $207 million, most under $40 million.

Skyspares holds multiple single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, all with ceiling values between $249,999.99 and $350,000, performance periods extending three to five years, and mix of total small business set-aside and non-set-aside designations. These IDCs—awarded in 2025 and 2026—serve as the parent vehicles for individual delivery orders and purchase orders that flow month to month. The top five named parent vehicles by task order count include Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE4A623D0035 (71 task orders, $611 thousand combined potential value), SPE4AX16D9007 (34 task orders, $43 thousand), and SPE4A614D5673 (23 task orders, $44 thousand). Most task orders are discrete component procurements priced individually rather than draws against a standing master schedule.

Activity trajectory shows consistent baseline with modest growth: 149 awards in 2022, peaking at 195 in 2023, then leveling at 130–132 annually in 2024–2025, with only 33 awards visible in the first four months of 2026 due to the snapshot date. Recompete cliff exposure is modest: 48 awards (combined potential value $929 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, concentrated in spring and early summer 2026.

Subcontract footprint is negligible: only one sub-award appears in the source, a $0-value sleeve cylinder component under ES3 Prime Logistics Group Inc. dated March 2024. Skyspares operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor; no significant teaming relationships to primes are documented in the award record.

Skyspares competes full-and-open across DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime solicitations, winning through competitive Request for Quote and Invitation for Bid processes. The source indicates solicitation postings between six to eight weeks prior to award, with competition typically restricted to named manufacturer codes when components carry source-controlled drawing (SCD) requirements. The vendor's sixty-year registration history, consistent monthly volume, and multi-year IDC holdings reflect an established position in the DLA supply base for routine component provisioning rather than new-design or strategic sourcing.
