Standard Aero (San Antonio) Inc.

Standard Aero (San Antonio) Inc., a subsidiary of Standardaero Aviation Holdings, Inc., operates as a military aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) specialist delivering depot-level repair, component overhaul, and engineering support services to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor (82% of recent awards). The company is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and competes in the full-and-open market without set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Standard Aero's core capability portfolio centers on T56 turboprop engine sustainment, P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft engine depot maintenance, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye propulsion support, and J85 turbojet engine overhaul services. Representative prime work includes a $315.7 million single-award IDIQ with Naval Air Systems Command for T56-A-427A engine module repairs (power section modules, reduction gear assemblies, torquemeter repairs) through August 2029, a $626.8 million multiple-award IDIQ with Naval Air Systems Command for P-8A Poseidon engine depot maintenance through September 2029 with work performed at the contractor's Ottawa, Ontario facility, and a $73.2 million delivery order from AFLCMC Tinker AFB for J85 depot maintenance through April 2029. Current delivery orders span firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials T56 engine repairs, P-8A minor repair and core performance restoration work, and engine induction services across the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye program. Work is performed in San Antonio, Texas and Ottawa, Ontario, with no set-aside designation applied across the award population.

Customer concentration heavily weights Navy aviation sustainment. The top five funding agencies account for 77% of recent awards by count; Naval Air Systems Command leads by combined potential value at $2.07 billion across 52 awards, followed by Air Force Materiel Command at $1.9 billion across two IDIQs. Naval Supply Systems Command places 96 awards valued at $8.9 million (small components and field replacements), Naval Air Warfare Center maintains 51 awards at $874.2 million, and Air Force Sustainment Center holds 52 awards at $324.9 million. The gap between award count and dollar concentration reflects a mix of large vehicle IDIQs generating multi-million-dollar delivery orders and numerous small consumable-parts orders through Naval Supply Systems Command.

Standard Aero seats on five primary vehicle platforms. The largest is AFLCMC Indefinite Delivery Contract FA812418D0002, which has generated 72 task orders worth $372.7 million combined potential value; the contractor also holds Naval Supply Systems Command Basic Ordering Agreement N0038320GV801 for TE-56 engine foreign military sales support (51 task orders, $1.8 million), Naval Air Systems Command IDC N6833521D0048 for engine work (25 task orders, $68.8 million), Naval Air Systems Command IDC N0001918D0110 for P-8A engine depot maintenance (19 task orders, $103.8 million), and Naval Air Systems Command IDC N0001909D0014 for engine sustainment (16 task orders, $152.8 million). These vehicles enable rapid procurement of specialized propulsion system services across Navy and Air Force depot maintenance operations.

Activity has grown substantially over five years. Awards per year moved from 24 in 2022 to 54 in 2024, with 51 awards in 2025, though year-to-date 2026 shows only 8 awards (reflecting a partial-year snapshot as of early March). Nine awards with combined potential value of $60.9 million face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, presenting a moderate recompete cliff. SCI-reported invoicing on federal services contracts above the $150,000 threshold shows $8.1 million in FY2022, $29.9 million in FY2023, and $38.6 million in FY2024, reflecting a scaling trajectory; the SCI dataset captured 14.3 FTEs in FY2022, 70.2 in FY2023, and 93.8 in FY2024, indicating workforce growth but representing only a portion of total federal revenue and substantially smaller than the enterprise overhead. On SCI-reportable prime contracts, median government-paid hourly rates ran around $362/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching $1,363/hr and entry-level work at $8.53/hr.

Standard Aero operates as a vertically integrated prime, building its own delivery teams. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors accounted for 0% of hours, signaling that Standard Aero performs depot maintenance in-house. In its subcontractor role, Standard Aero partners primarily with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (P-3 aircraft maintenance, engine parts manufacturing), General Electric Company (F110 engine foreign military sales engineering), Rolls-Royce Corporation (T56 component improvement program production stock), S&K Logistics Services LLC and S&K Federal Services LLC (Army Security Assistance Enterprise foreign military sales repair and return work), and L3Harris Technologies (Big Safari secondary smelting and alloying). Sub-engagement across these primes centers on aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing, turboshaft engine repair, and propulsion component engineering.

Primary NAICS concentrations are 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) at 210 awards and 336415 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) at 88 awards, with 40 awards under 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing). PSC concentration aligns tightly with MRO scope: 135 awards carry the Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Engines, Turbines, and Components code, 46 carry Gas Turbines and Jet Engines (Aircraft and Missile Prime Movers and Components), and 39 carry Engine Fuel System Components (Aircraft and Missile Prime Movers). Standard Aero has served 18 distinct federal customer agencies since 2009, with the Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force anchoring the portfolio.
