Symetrics Industries, LLC

Symetrics Industries, LLC, doing business as Extant Aerospace, is a subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated that manufactures and repairs specialized defense electronics, avionics systems, and aircraft components for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor. The company competes full-and-open across its prime contracting footprint with no set-aside designations. Extant Aerospace is headquartered in Melbourne, Florida, with secondary operations in Palm Bay, Florida and Rochester, New York, and operates under primary NAICS categories including Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334511) and Other Support Activities for Air Transportation (NAICS 488190).

Extant Aerospace's capability portfolio centers on lifecycle sustainment of aerospace and defense electronics—repair, manufacturing, and modification of complex avionics systems and electronic assemblies for military aircraft platforms. Recent representative prime work includes a $9.65 million sole-source delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center for F-16 battery chargers (June 2026), an $8.761 million definitive contract from the same command for F-16 battery chargers (June 2026), a $1.063 million definitive contract from Naval Air Warfare Center for a Radar Signal Simulator for H-60 aircraft under sole-source authority (June 2026), a $4.32 million delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center for B-52 Data Transfer Receptacle Fibre Channel Circuit Card Assembly redesign and production (September 2025), and a $3.651 million delivery order from Communications Electronics Command for VSAT program spares (April 2026). The company delivers aircraft memory units, digital computer equipment, circuit card assemblies, signal converters, battery charger modules, and repair services for systems supporting the F-16, B-1, B-2, B-52, C-5, MH-60, MH-65, and KC-130 aircraft platforms, among others.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of the Navy and Department of the Air Force. The top five funding agencies represent 70% of the award count: Naval Supply Systems Command leads with 332 awards and $85.2 million combined potential value, the Air Force accounts for 282 awards, the Air Force Sustainment Center holds 210 awards and $117.6 million, Naval Air Warfare Center accounts for 114 awards and $45.9 million, and the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base carries 97 awards and $277.9 million. By potential value, however, Robins Air Force Base dominates with $277.9 million across 97 awards, reflecting large-dollar sustainment contracts, while Naval Supply Systems Command and Communications Electronics Command also anchor significant dollar volumes—$85.2 million and $211.6 million respectively—despite smaller award counts.

Extant Aerospace holds or operates under multiple indefinite-delivery contracts. The top parent vehicle is an Air Force Sustainment Center indefinite-delivery contract (FA861718D6213) supporting 241 task orders. Additional key vehicles include Naval Supply Systems Command BOA N0038318DP401 (53 task orders, $8.4 million combined potential value), Air Force Sustainment Center IDC FA854006D0002 (45 task orders, $31.2 million), and Naval Supply Systems Command IDC N6893609D0009 (54 task orders, $4.2 million). Extant Aerospace also holds a single-award indefinite-delivery contract with Communications Electronics Command for WX-500 Stormscope hardware acquisition and repair (ceiling $4.412 million through September 2029) and a Coast Guard single-award IDC for TCAS 1 processor repair on MH-65 aircraft (ceiling $908,240). Recent sole-source single-award IDVs from the Air Force Sustainment Center include a $7.338 million contract for B-52 Data Transfer Receptacle repairs and redesign through September 2028, a $545,279 contract for B-2 and B-1 component repair through April 2029, and a $122,650 contract for F-16 circuit card assembly repair through March 2030.

Activity accelerated sharply between 2024 and 2025 (from 192 to 281 awards), followed by a substantial decline in 2026 (48 awards year-to-date through August). This trajectory reflects significant recompete exposure: 69 awards with combined potential value of $49.2 million reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity and potential revenue risk for the vendor.

In its subcontractor role, Extant Aerospace delivers specialized electronic components and assemblies to major primes including The Boeing Company (C-17 Globemaster III sustainment, Apache, P-8A, and G3 phase-II material orders), BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration (F-16 support equipment signal simulators for multiple foreign military sales), L3Harris Technologies (digital computer equipment, fibre channel assemblies, and various electronic components), Raytheon Company (CIWS production circuit card assemblies), Honeywell International (gas turbine meter assemblies), and others. The subcontract footprint reflects electronics manufacturing, circuit card assembly production, digital computer equipment, and component repair services across defense platforms.
