TLD America Corporation

TLD America Corporation TLD America Division is a foreign-owned manufacturer of specialized ground support equipment for military aviation and aerospace applications, operating as a prime contractor on 130 awards (71% of its footprint) and as a subcontractor on 53 awards (29%), with a combined potential value of $272.5 million across 183 federal awards since at least 1984. The company competes on a full-and-open basis with no set-aside designations, headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, with production and service facilities also at Warner Robins, Georgia and international locations including France.

TLD America's core capabilities center on electrified and diesel-electric ground support equipment for naval and air force platforms: polyalphaolefin (PAO) cooling carts for the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System, aircraft tow tractors (U-30 Class I and II models, TMX-450-50, TMX-550-62), air conditioning and heating units for fixed-wing aircraft including the P-8A Poseidon, munitions loaders, ground power units, and field support services. The vendor also manufactures burden carrier tractors — a $5.95 million firm-fixed-price order from the U.S. Coast Guard awarded September 2026 for one first-article prototype and 116 production electric tractors with 80-volt lithium-ion batteries and 10-kilowatt minimum capacity, deliverable through September 2028. Representative prime awards include a $2.742 million delivery order from Naval Air Systems Command for an MQ-4C Triton PAO coolant cart (May 2026), a $703,860 purchase order from Air Force Materiel Command for a TMX-450-50 tractor aircraft tug with military-specific accessories (June 2026), a $840,715 definitive contract from Air Force Life Cycle Management Center for long-term sustainment of eight diesel-electric PAO cooling carts running through September 2029 (September 2024), and a $1.5 million definitive contract from the Air Force for a TLD MBL-15E MK2 Next Generation 3K munitions loader (April 2024). TLD America also holds a $1.068 million Other Transaction Agreement with the Office of Naval Research for a prototype project on Electrified Ground Support Equipment (EGSE), awarded March 2025.

Customer concentration is heavily Navy-weighted. The top five funding organizations account for 64% of award count and 87% of combined potential value, led by the Naval Air Warfare Center (28 awards, $167.7 million combined potential value) and Naval Air Systems Command (53 awards, $17.6 million), followed by the Coast Guard (17 awards, $8.7 million), Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins (14 awards, $38.6 million), and Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command (6 awards, $5.3 million). The divergence between the two rankings reflects Naval Air Warfare Center's dominance in dollar value while Naval Air Systems Command anchors volume; together these two Navy entities account for the vast majority of TLD America's revenue base.

TLD America holds several large indefinite delivery vehicles anchoring its prime work: an Air Force IDV (FA853420D0002) with 11 task orders valued at $15.7 million for U-30 tow tractors, a Navy IDV (N6833509D0093) with 4 task orders valued at $33 million for PAO cooling carts, an Army IDV (W52P1J17D0050) with 5 task orders valued at $6 million, and a Coast Guard IDV (HSCG3812D505049) with 4 task orders valued at $491 thousand. Task orders under these vehicles span 2022 through 2027, with work performed at Windsor, Connecticut and internationally including France and other locations.

Activity peaked in 2024 at 35 awards before declining to 20 in 2025 and 5 year-to-date in 2026, indicating a downward trajectory. Five awards with ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $13.4 million, representing modest recompete exposure relative to the overall portfolio. Of the $272.5 million in combined potential value, $115.8 million (42%) has been obligated, with the remainder pending task order issuance or final delivery acceptance.

On the subcontractor side, TLD America delivers ground support equipment components and assemblies to Lockheed Martin (the dominant prime relationship, with dozens of modifications spanning PAO cooling carts, air conditioning units, power distribution assemblies, and tires), L3Harris Technologies (BIG SAFARI program work including aircraft manufacturing and secondary smelting support), Boeing (P-8A Poseidon integrated logistics support), Northrop Grumman (B-2 programmed depot maintenance and SEMA contractor logistics support), HII Mission Technologies (LOGIX network services and equipment repair), and Amentum Services (Colombian National Police aviation support). The subcontract footprint reflects TLD America's role as a specialized component and equipment supplier within larger aerospace and defense primes rather than systems integrator.

TLD America's product footprint spans air-conditioning and warm air heating equipment manufacturing (56 awards), aircraft manufacturing (36 awards), industrial tractor and machinery manufacturing (29 awards), and other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing (25 awards), with leading PSC categories in aircraft ground servicing equipment (25 awards), air conditioning equipment (22 awards), and airfield specialized trucks and trailers (19 awards). The vendor competes across 28 distinct federal customer agencies, reflecting both prime work with military logistics commands and subcontract engagement with defense primes serving multiple programs.
