Standardaero Atlantic, Inc.

Standardaero Atlantic, Inc., a Canadian-based aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) specialist, operates as a subcontractor on 79% of its recent federal awards and holds a smaller prime footprint of single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts for Pratt & Whitney engine support services. The company is headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario (with additional facilities in Kennesaw, Georgia, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) and is a subsidiary of Standardaero Aviation Holdings, Inc., a for-profit corporate parent. Standardaero Atlantic holds FAA certification as a repair station and Pratt & Whitney designations as an overhaul facility, operating without set-aside categorization across full-and-open competitive procurement.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily skewed toward defense special-operations work. Across all awards, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center accounts for 76 of 107 awards; those work through Sierra Nevada Company, LLC as the prime contractor under the Big Safari program. The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement accounts for two prime awards carrying $11.5 million in combined potential value—a $10 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded November 2024 for Pratt & Whitney 123E and 150A engine repairs and overhauls through November 2026, plus a $1.5 million delivery order issued in January 2025. The Department of Agriculture Forest Service Fire and Aviation Management (through the National Interagency Fire Center) represents 13 prime awards worth $8.6 million, including a $7.4 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract for Pratt & Whitney engine support services running through December 2026. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration holds 8 prime awards worth $8 million, and the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command holds 7 sub awards. Together, these five agencies account for 99% of recent awards by count and 100% of combined potential value.

The vendor's primary revenue vehicle sits on Basic Ordering Agreement FA862021G4009, against which 69 task orders (all under Sierra Nevada as prime) direct work for Big Safari engine repair, engine overhaul, and aircraft parts support. This vehicle dominates the footprint and surfaces the core tension in the portfolio: while Standardaero Atlantic holds substantial prime Indefinite Delivery Contracts with civilian agencies (NIFC, FAA, State), the overwhelming share of recent task-order volume flows through Air Force special-operations primes, particularly Sierra Nevada. The company also places smaller task-order volumes against the Indefinite Delivery Contract 1202SA23T9505 with NIFC (12 task orders, $1.2 million combined potential value), contract 6973GH-21-D-00012 with USDA (3 task orders, $2.1 million), and NAVAIR Strategic Sourcing for CMMARS with the Navy (7 task orders).

Activity has grown sharply year over year—one award in 2022, nineteen in 2023, forty-six in 2024, and thirty-nine in 2025—driven primarily by Sierra Nevada sub-award volume. Recent prime work exemplifies the vendor's capability scope: a $1.35 million delivery order from NIFC in January 2026 for Pratt & Whitney fuel control unit overhaul (PN 8061-332 Rev. C); a $535 thousand delivery order in July 2025 for Sherpa PT6-65AR engine repair; and a $665 thousand purchase order in June 2025 for RGB oil leak and tachometer drive repairs. Civilian prime awards span engine hot-section inspections, teardown and test-and-evaluation, overhaul maintenance, unscheduled maintenance and repair, and component-level repairs—all performed at Standardaero Atlantic's Ottawa and U.S. facilities and directed at sustaining Pratt & Whitney engines powering firefighting and federal aviation fleets.

Standardaero Atlantic's subcontract footprint is dominated by Sierra Nevada Company, LLC, which accounts for the majority of the eighty-four sub awards spanning Big Safari engine repair, overhaul, and aircraft parts support for Air Force special-operations programs. The vendor also subcontracts to Vertex Aerospace LLC on C-12 aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (eight sub awards across 2025), and to L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems L.P. on Armed Overwatch aircraft manufacturing (two sub awards in late 2023) and Air Force delivery orders. This sub posture reflects Standardaero Atlantic's role as a specialized engine and component supplier to defense primes rather than as a systems integrator; the vendor's prime work remains concentrated on civilian-agency aviation sustainment.
