T K Innovation, Inc.

T K Innovation, Inc., doing business as T K I, manufactures metal stampings, aircraft components, and hardware items for the federal government, operating primarily as a subcontractor (31% of recent awards) to prime contractors and equipment manufacturers serving defense and logistics customers. Based in Wheeling, West Virginia, T K I is a for-profit manufacturer classified under NAICS categories including Metal Crown, Closure, and Other Metal Stamping (5 awards), Aircraft Manufacturing (4 awards), and Machine Shops (2 awards), with primary product focus on bushings, rings, shims, and spacers (8 awards under PSC 5325) and specialized components for military aircraft platforms.

T K I's customer base concentrates on Department of the Navy organizations and Defense Logistics Agency commands. The Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command represents the largest single customer by potential value ($46 thousand across one award), while Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by award count (5 awards, $28 thousand combined potential value). Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center and Naval Air Systems Command account for six additional awards totaling $14 thousand in combined potential value. Across all five distinct customer agencies, the source captures $90 thousand in combined potential value, though $358 thousand has been obligated to date — a signal that awarded task-order values exceed the potential-value reporting baseline. The single named parent vehicle is Navy IDC N0042117D0052, against which T K I placed one task order.

In its subcontractor capacity, T K I supplies CMV-22 production shims and long-lead-time items to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (two awards in 2025), AH-1Z aircraft shims to Bell Textron Inc., and storage materials in support of Science and Engineering Services, LLC. Award activity is episodic — one award in 2014, five in 2015, then gaps through 2017–2018 before four awards in 2025 — reflecting project-driven procurement cycles characteristic of military aircraft supply chains. No recompete cliff appears in the next twenty-four months given the source's sparse recent activity and sub-award dominance.
