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, with a secondary footprint as a subcontractor to major primes on integrated defense programs. The company competes full-and-open across all of its prime awards—no set-aside designations appear across recent activity—and operates from Melbourne, Florida, with secondary performance locations in Palm Bay, Florida and Rochester, New York.

Extant Aerospace's capability portfolio centers on lifecycle sustainment of aerospace and defense electronics: aircraft memory units, digital computer equipment, circuit card assemblies, signal converters, flight data recorders, battery charger modules, radar signal simulators, and TCAS processors. Representative prime contracts include a $4.32 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center for B-52 Data Transfer Receptacle Fibre Channel Circuit Card Assembly redesign and production (including viability study, design reviews, first article build and test, and production of 152 units); a $1.89 million definitive contract from Naval Supply Systems Command for manufacture of signal converter equipment; and a $1.05 million delivery order from Air Force Materiel Command for AN/PLM-4 Radar Signal Simulator manufacturing. The company also holds a $6.58 million single-award IDC with Air Force Sustainment Center for B-52 DTR FC CCA redesign and production through September 2028, a $4.41 million single-award contract with Communications Electronics Command for WX-500 Stormscope hardware and repair services through September 2029, and a $122,650 indefinite-delivery contract with Air Force Sustainment Center for F-16 circuit card assembly repairs through March 2030.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to defense logistics and sustainment commands. The top five funding agencies by award count account for 71% of awards: Naval Supply Systems Command leads with 315 awards ($83.6 million combined potential value), followed by Air Force Sustainment Center (203 awards, $96.4 million), Naval Air Warfare Center (113 awards, $44.9 million), and Air Force Robins Air Force Base Lifecycle Management Center (97 awards, $277.9 million). When ranked by potential value, the distribution shifts: Robins AFB dominates at $277.9 million across 97 awards, while Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($217.5 million across 24 awards) and Army Communications Electronics Command ($209.7 million across 37 awards) anchor much larger individual contract values despite lower award counts.

Extant Aerospace places task orders against five core indefinite-delivery vehicles: Indefinite Delivery Contract FA861718D6213 (241 task orders, no ceiling stated), IDC N6893609D0009 (54 task orders, $4.2 million), IDC N0038318DP401 (53 task orders, $8.4 million), IDC FA854006D0002 (45 task orders, $31.2 million), and IDC N0038314D035G (37 task orders, $6.2 million). These vehicles span Air Force Sustainment Center, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Naval Air Systems Command work.

Activity has accelerated substantially: four awards in 2022 to 47 in 2022, 48 in 2023, 184 in 2024, and 278 in 2025, reflecting rapid scaling as a defense electronics supplier. Seventy awards valued at $46.3 million combined potential reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete exposure across aircraft memory units, computer equipment, and signal converter sustainment work.

In its subcontractor role, Extant Aerospace performs specialized electronic component manufacturing and repair work under The Boeing Company on C-17 Globemaster III sustainment, Apache helicopter advanced procurement, and P-8A aircraft programs; under L3Harris Technologies on digital video and fibre-channel chassis assemblies, Fibre Channel Network System ramp repair for E-2D and F/A-18E/F, and senior leader network maintenance; under Jpats Logistics Services on contractor-operated base supply engine data manager and parts supply; and under L3 Technologies on senior leader network circuit card assemblies and fan assemblies. Recent notable subs include work on F-15EX Eagle Vision radar systems under Raytheon, BQM-167A target manufacturing under Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems, and satellite communications repair under IAP World Services.

The corporate structure shows Extant Aerospace as a child entity of TransDigm Group, though recent awards reference novation agreements reflecting the company's prior relationship with L3Harris Technologies. The vendor operates across NAICS categories dominated by other support activities for air transportation (256 awards) and search, detection, navigation, guidance systems manufacturing (234 awards), with heavy PSC concentration in electronic countermeasures and quick reaction capability equipment (147 awards) and miscellaneous communication equipment (126 awards). Across 1,430 total awards—prime and sub combined—the company has secured $1.39 billion in combined potential value, with $561.4 million obligated to date.
