The Airflo Instrument Company

The Airflo Instrument Company, doing business as Airflo Instrument Co, manufactures precision aviation and aerospace instrumentation as a prime contractor to the Federal Aviation Administration and Defense Logistics Agency, competing on full-and-open basis across nearly four hundred recent purchase orders and delivery orders with no set-aside designations or SBA certifications.

Airflo is a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Glastonbury, Connecticut, specializing in liquid level switches, aneroid barometers, temperature indicators, temperature trimmers, thermocouples, and custom insulation components. The company has operated as a federal contractor since at least 2001 and competes entirely in unrestricted procurements; the source does not identify minority, women-owned, disadvantaged, or other set-aside designations. Airflo's federal footprint is dominated by component supply and precision manufacturing, not service delivery. The vendor holds two Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency—one for liquid level switches (ceiling $250,000) and one for aneroid barometers (ceiling $484,528.32)—both designated as Total Small Business set-asides, though the awards issued against these vehicles themselves do not carry set-aside tags. Representative prime work includes a $33,678 FAA purchase order for National Airspace System assets awarded in March 2025, a $134,947 Naval Supply Systems Command delivery order for barometers awarded in August 2023, and an $11,439 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration purchase order for insulating plates (louvers) for meteorological shelters awarded in August 2024.

Airflo's customer base is concentrated in defense and civilian aviation logistics. The top five customers by award count account for 63 percent of recent awards, led by Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (74 awards, $1.1 million combined potential value) and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (61 awards, $3.6 million). When ranked by dollar value, however, DLA Aviation dominates at $3.6 million across 61 awards, followed by the FAA's Aeronautical Center ($2.6 million across 24 awards), DLA Land and Maritime ($1.1 million across 74 awards), and FAA Headquarters ($942 thousand across 44 awards). The FAA and DLA together account for the overwhelming majority of Airflo's recent federal revenue; the company also serves the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, and NOAA in smaller volumes.

Airflo's work flows through five primary IDV vehicles. The largest is IDC SPE4A616D0073 with 14 task orders carrying $360 thousand in combined potential value; IDC DTFAAC07D00041 carries 8 task orders valued at $1.9 million. The remaining vehicles (SPM90005D7063, DAAB0799DB407, and SPM44004D0687) range from 8 to 12 task orders with modest individual values. Nearly all of Airflo's federal work consists of purchase orders and delivery orders valued between $2,000 and $50,000 for specific components or small batches. Recent awards data shows activity ramping from 4 awards in 2022 to a peak of 12 in 2025, with only 2 awards recorded to date in 2026; the company faces minimal recompete cliff pressure, with only 2 awards (combined value $42 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months.

Airflo operates almost exclusively as a prime contractor—398 of 399 recent awards are prime positions. The source names one sub-award: a position on an Electric Boat Corporation SSN 804 submarine construction subcontract awarded in October 2024. The company competes across NAICS categories centered on manufacturing: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (112 awards), Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing for Industrial Process Variables (35 awards), and Current-Carrying Wiring Device Manufacturing (35 awards). By PSC, Airflo's portfolio is dominated by Switches (104 awards), Pressure/Temperature/Humidity Measuring and Controlling Instruments (79 awards), and Meteorological Instruments and Apparatus (72 awards), reflecting its core business of supplying discrete components to logistics and maintenance supply chains rather than systems integration or services.
