Southeast Aerospace, Inc.

Southeast Aerospace, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Melbourne, Florida, supplies specialized airborne equipment, antennas, avionics components, and aircraft modification and integration services to federal agencies as a prime contractor (85% of awards) and subcontractor, with a primary focus on defense aviation platforms and law enforcement aircraft systems.

The company competes across both set-aside and full-and-open vehicles. Recent prime work spans Total Small Business set-asides—including a $238,500 Coast Guard purchase order for 5G bandpass filters awarded August 4, 2026, and a $270,880 DEA delivery order for Janteq Downlink System installation across multiple aircraft platforms awarded July 8, 2025—and unrestricted competitions, such as a $1,125,800 Air Force Sustainment Center definitive contract for 40 Multiple Indicator units awarded September 30, 2024. Southeast Aerospace holds a $21.553 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Drug Enforcement Administration (awarded April 18, 2025, running through April 17, 2030) for procurement, installation, integration, and certification of commercial airborne imaging systems and mission equipment on DEA-operated Cessna 206 and 208 aircraft and Bell 407 and 412 helicopters. Primary NAICS concentrations include Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (52 awards), Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (40 awards), and Aircraft Manufacturing (27 awards); PSC leadership runs to Radar Equipment Airborne (48 awards) and Antennas, Waveguides, and Related Equipment (18 awards).

Customer concentration sits heavily with defense and federal law enforcement. The Department of the Navy Naval Sea Systems Command anchors the portfolio by combined potential value at $3.96 billion across eight awards, driven by large-dollar vehicle positions rather than award count; the Drug Enforcement Administration follows at $45 million across 22 awards, concentrated on the $21.553 million IDC and its task orders. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard ranks third in award count (31 awards, $1.7 million combined potential value) and supplies steady small-dollar purchase orders for HC-144 and MH-60T aircraft components. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (29 awards, $622 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (15 awards, $18.5 million combined potential value) round out the top five. Together, these five agencies cover 100% of combined potential value. The substantial Navy Sea Systems gap between award count and dollar value signals that Southeast Aerospace sits on a high-ceiling vehicle where few orders have been placed to date.

Southeast Aerospace places the majority of its task-order work under a small number of parent vehicles. The Indefinite Delivery Contract 15DDHQ19D00000003 (prime contractor not named in source) carries 13 task orders valued at $5.7 million combined potential value. The Indefinite Delivery Contract N6883613D0004 holds six task orders valued at $13.9 million. The DEA IDC 15DDHQ25D00000003 generated four task orders valued at $1.9 million (with three additional orders noted in the award detail). Recent activity has declined year over year—24 awards in 2024, 15 in 2025, and six through August 2026—with only two awards (combined potential value $302 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete pressure.

In its subcontractor role, Southeast Aerospace delivers antennas, avionics components, and aircraft parts to Sierra Nevada Company (appearing on multiple recent awards for airborne mission networking kits, aircraft modifications, and Big Safari antennas), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (Battlefield Airborne Communications Node platform maintenance), Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp (aviation electronic warfare analysis and support), Jpats Logistics Services (COMBS III contractor-operated supply support), and American Electronic Warfare Associates (Garmin navigation and GPS equipment). The subcontract footprint reflects integration and supply work on special operations and intelligence platforms, with emphasis on antenna and communications systems across Army, Navy, and Air Force programs.
