The Nordam Group Llc

The Nordam Group LLC, through its Nordam Transparency Division, manufactures aircraft window panels, ventilation systems, and seals for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations across its federal footprint. The division is a for-profit manufacturer of goods and a child entity within The Nordam Group LLC, headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nordam Transparency Division operates in the aerospace components manufacturing space, primarily under NAICS 334612 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 1710 (Airframe Structural Components), delivering specialized aircraft transparency systems and related components that support military aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations.

The division's customer concentration is extreme and durable: the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates the footprint with 366 of 453 prime awards (81% of volume) and $29.4 million of the $46.7 million combined potential value across all awards (63% of dollars). The next largest customer, the Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, holds 14 awards worth $2.6 million—roughly one-tenth the scale of DLA Aviation. DLA Land and Maritime adds 24 awards worth $346 thousand across seals and related components. This concentration is the operating model: Nordam Transparency Division functions as a dedicated DLA Aviation supplier.

Nordam Transparency Division's vehicle portfolio reflects this specialization. Eight single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with DLA Aviation anchor the business: a $2 million window-panel IDC (SPE4A722D0177, 19 task orders); a $749,999.99 panel IDC (SPE4A723D0288, 7 task orders); a $749,999.99 panel IDC (SPM4A708D0025, 43 task orders, the most heavily utilized vehicle); a $1.999 million aircraft-vent IDC (SPE4A614D0394, 14 task orders); and four smaller panel IDCs ranging from $249,999.99 to $749,999.99, each with between 5 and 13 task orders. All are single-award contracts reflecting Nordam's exclusive position as the supplier for each part-number grouping. The largest vehicle by task-order count (SPM4A708D0025 with 43 orders) suggests DLA Aviation's confidence in Nordam's ability to rapidly fulfill recurring procurement for standard window-panel configurations.

Representative recent delivery-order work includes a $68,000 order for aircraft ventilation components (DoD Aviation, March 2026), a $72,303 purchase order for 33 aircraft window-panel units (DLA Aviation, January 2026), a $100,800 order for ventilation components (DLA Aviation, July 2025), and a $239,880 order for window panels (DLA Aviation, June 2024). Individual delivery orders and purchase orders range from under $5,000 to approximately $240,000, with firm fixed-price structures and Tulsa-based performance. The activity trajectory shows 20 awards in 2022, rising to 38 in 2024, then plateauing at 35 in 2025 through March 2026—consistent with a mature, high-volume supplier relationship. Nine awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months with combined potential value of $337 thousand, representing moderate recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Nordam Transparency Division supplies aircraft parts and services to four defense primes: Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CH-53K helicopter program long-lead items, December 2025), Bell Textron Inc. (Future Vertical Lift FLRAA development, August–October 2025), The Boeing Company (C-17 Globemaster III sustainment, June 2025), and the University of Dayton (PRESS engineering services, June 2024). Subcontract engagement is minimal (5 of 503 awards, or 1%) and appears reactive rather than strategic, with no named ceiling values disclosed in the source.

Nordam Transparency Division does not hold any government-wide acquisition contracts or civilian-agency vehicles. Its entire federal footprint flows through DLA Aviation single-award IDCs and the small number of Army and Coast Guard orders. The absence of set-aside certifications and the full-and-open competitive posture across all 498 prime awards reflect the division's market position: it competes as a qualified, established supplier in the open aerospace components market without reliance on small-business preferences. This posture underscores Nordam's scale and manufacturing capability relative to set-aside-eligible competitors in the transparency-components space.
