Transdigm Inc.

Transdigm Inc., Adel Wiggins Division, doing business as Adel Wiggins Group, manufactures specialized aerospace hardware and fastening components for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor (97% of recent awards), with performance centered at its East Los Angeles, California facility. The division competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint, positioned as an established supplier within the defense industrial base rather than a protected category vendor.

Adel Wiggins' capability portfolio centers on highly engineered aerospace hardware — loop clamps, retaining straps, cable clamps, grommets, eyelets, coupling assemblies, and related fastening and retention components used across military aircraft, vehicles, ships, and support systems. Representative prime awards include a $335,172 purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (October 2025) for 300 units of loop clamps (NSN 5340015671008), a $206,504 order for 33,200 units of loop clamps (November 2025), and a $249,090 award for retaining straps (October 2025), all firm fixed-price. Recent indefinite-delivery contracts include a $350,000 single-award IDC with DLA Land and Maritime (April 2026) and a $250,000 IDC (September 2025) for loop clamps and related hardware, with task orders placed against them since award. The division also supplies nonmetallic grommets, metallic eyelets, electrical cable clamps, and synchro clamps to DLA Aviation and other DLA divisions.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-sourced to the Defense Logistics Agency. DLA Land and Maritime accounts for 375 awards (34% of the 1,092 total) with $8.2 million combined potential value; DLA Troop Support Hardware accounts for 269 awards with $3.3 million; DLA Aviation accounts for 110 awards with $2.1 million; and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment accounts for 67 awards with $1 million. These five DLA organizational units collectively represent 92% of recent awards by count and 92% of combined potential value. The division reports 1,092 total awards over its recorded history, with annual volume growing from 37 awards in 2022 to 99 in 2025. Seven awards (combined potential value $201 thousand) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. Combined potential value across all awards stands at $16.2 million, though combined dollars obligated ($28.8 million) exceed that figure by 77 percent, indicating the source's capture of fulfilled and invoiced work alongside remaining contract ceilings.

Adel Wiggins operates as a subsidiary of Transdigm Group Incorporated, a for-profit manufacturer of goods. The division's subcontract footprint is minimal (3% of awards). Recent sub awards include work under Lockheed Martin on M270A2 Multiple Launch Rocket System production (cable clamps and drawbands, March–September 2024), C-130J aircraft programs (coupling assemblies, reducer components, March–May 2024), and Standard Missile systems (quick disconnect fittings, September 2024–December 2023); work under L3Harris Technologies Integrated Systems on RC-135 sustainment (gasket, packing, and sealing device manufacturing, April 2025), JAMMS MITD 1 (hardware manufacturing, June 2025), and Big Safari programs (hardware manufacturing, June 2024); and work under Mantech TSG-2 Joint Venture on unmanned aircraft systems engineering for Naval Air Systems Command (connector purchase, October 2025).

The division's procurement footprint aligns tightly with hardware manufacturing (489 awards) and electronic connector manufacturing (84 awards) across NAICS classifications, with PSC-level concentration in commercial hardware (581 awards) and hose, pipe, tube, and fitting components (207 awards). Top parent vehicles include an Indefinite Delivery Contract SP043003D0375 (8 task orders, $158 thousand) and SPM43003D0375 (6 task orders, $51 thousand), reflecting DLA's reliance on single-award and basic ordering arrangements for small-quantity, routine component replenishment.
