TEC Aerospace LLC

TEC Aerospace LLC, a small disadvantaged business partnership based in Clayton, New Jersey, manufactures and supplies aerospace hardware, fasteners, and mechanical components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, operating exclusively through the Defense Logistics Agency across purchase orders and delivery orders under indefinite delivery contracts.

TEC Aerospace's customer footprint is entirely concentrated within DLA components, accounting for 100% of recent awards. The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Hardware leads by volume (1,339 awards, $2.9 million combined potential value), followed closely by DLA Aviation (1,156 awards, $4.3 million) and DLA Land and Maritime (834 awards, $4.6 million), with a small remainder to DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (19 awards, $61 thousand). By dollar concentration, DLA Land and Maritime edges ahead at $4.6 million across 834 awards, though the ranking reflects the vendor's broad, high-volume commodity supply posture rather than any shift in strategic focus — all three major DLA components operate through the same vehicle types and specification-driven procurement patterns.

TEC Aerospace's capability portfolio centers on small-quantity aerospace consumables and hardware components, grounded in named delivery orders for machine thread plugs (NSNs 8510959817, 8511071854, 8510568088, 8510336895, 8510011441), flat washers (NSNs 8510948980, 8509037604), shear bolts (NSN 8510090273), mounting brackets (NSN 8510281390), spacer plates (NSN 8508807518), and grab hooks (NSN 8508881464). Recent awards include a $11,844 purchase order from DLA Aviation for flat washers (Oct 2024), a $5,135 delivery order for machine thread plugs under indefinite delivery contract SPE4A720D5652 (Nov 2024), and a $1,616 purchase order from DLA Aviation for dee rings (Jul 2026). The source notes over eighty years of aerospace and firearms component manufacturing experience. No subcontractor presence appears in the award footprint.

Activity remains minimal and flat across recent years — one award in 2025, one in 2026 — though the vendor's cumulative footprint spans 3,348 prime awards since 2009, with $11.9 million combined potential value and $9.2 million in obligated dollars. The award volume reflects TEC Aerospace's role as a blanket-order supplier of commodity hardware rather than a program-level contractor; delivery orders consistently value under $12,000, with most below $5,000. TEC Aerospace holds multiple small-business-set-aside indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation and DLA Land and Maritime, each with ceilings of $249,999.99. The primary parent vehicles are indefinite delivery contracts SPE4A720D5652, SPE4A618D5424, and SPE4A516D5017. Top PSC categories are bearings and unmounted plain bearings (457 awards), nuts and washers (338 awards), bushings and spacers (331 awards), and machine keys and pins (287 awards), reflecting a pure commodity hardware supplier profile with no service or integration components.
