About the company
The Aeronautical Instrument and Radio Company, a women-owned small business manufacturer based in Lodi, New Jersey, supplies precision avionics, navigational instruments, and specialized electronic and mechanical defense components to the Department of Defense as a prime contractor across 759 awards totaling $24.7 million in combined potential value. The vendor operates as a sole proprietor of manufacturing operations without parent-company relationships; a named subsidiary, Airco Republic Electronics, Inc., also carries women-owned small business designation. AirCo competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements but holds several Total Small Business set-aside positions on single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency.
The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily on logistics and aviation support. The top five funding entities account for 75% of recent awards by count: Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime leads with 226 awards valued at $4.8 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Aviation with 166 awards at $7.7 million combined potential value, the Air Force with 78 awards at $771 thousand, DLA corporate with 61 awards at $103 thousand, and the Navy with 37 awards. By dollar concentration, DLA Aviation ($7.7 million) and DLA Land and Maritime ($4.8 million) dominate; Air Force Materiel Command locations—Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex ($3.6 million across 10 awards), Air Force Sustainment Center ($3.4 million across 15 awards), and Robins Air Force Base Lifecycle Management Center ($1.8 million across 7 awards)—anchor the remaining dollars. The two rankings track closely: DLA is the overwhelming customer by both volume and value.
AirCo's product portfolio centers on radio navigation equipment, synchros and resolvers, electrical and electronic test instruments, and flight instruments. The top NAICS categories reflect this: Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing (120 awards), Motor and Generator Manufacturing (113 awards), and Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (55 awards). Representative recent prime awards include a $25,000 Total Small Business delivery order from DLA Land and Maritime for synchro receiver components (September 2025), a $21,500 Total Small Business purchase order for amplifier assemblies (August 2025), a $38,740 Total Small Business purchase order for 52 units of gear cluster from DLA Land and Maritime (January 2026), and a $14,900 full-and-open purchase order for a gear cluster from DoD Land and Maritime (February 2026). Historically, AirCo has issued delivery orders ranging from $1,310 to over $69,400 on individual task orders under its IDC vehicles.
AirCo holds three significant single-award indefinite delivery contracts with DLA. The largest is a $1.3 million contract with DLA Aviation (through July 2026) for distance indicators, under which the vendor has placed 18 task orders totaling $1.6 million in combined potential value. A second contract, valued at $621,940.14 and designated Total Small Business (through September 2028), covers course counter assemblies with DLA Aviation; this vehicle carries 17 task orders at $2 million combined potential value. A third, valued at $250,000 and running through the near term, covers synchro receivers with DLA Land and Maritime. Beyond DLA, AirCo also subcontracts under multiple Air Force Materiel Command indefinite delivery contracts, including FA853309D0017 (18 task orders, $1.6 million potential value) and FA851704D0010 (17 task orders, $2 million potential value), both held as single-award vehicles.
Activity has declined over the past five years—from 24 awards in 2022 to 11 in both 2024 and 2025, with only 2 awards issued year-to-date in 2026. This trajectory reflects reliance on mature, delivery-order-based vehicles rather than new prime procurements. Only one award (combined potential value $15 thousand) carries ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure; however, the vendor's three principal IDCs remain active through 2026–2028, positioning AirCo for task-order activity against those vehicles as long as funding and requirements persist. AirCo has maintained active federal contracting status since at least 2002 and operates its Lodi facility as the sole place of performance across all awards in the source. The vendor does not appear in the source as a subcontractor to other primes; all awards are prime contractor awards.
