Transdigm Inc.

Transdigm Inc.'s Aero Fluid Products division, a for-profit manufacturer of goods headquartered in Painesville, Ohio, supplies precision-engineered aerospace fluid control components—valves, actuators, adapters, seals, springs, and related hardware—to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor (95% of 994 recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The division competes full-and-open; no set-asides recur across the footprint.

Aero Fluid Products operates as a subsidiary of Transdigm Group Incorporated, a publicly traded aerospace manufacturing parent. The division's capability portfolio centers on highly engineered fluid control devices and structural components for military aircraft platforms. Recent representative prime work includes a $1.8 million firm fixed-price definitive contract with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (February 2023) for 168 aircraft defueling valves supporting the V-22 Osprey program; a $912.5 thousand DLA Aviation purchase order (November 2025) for 73 aircraft defuel valves; a $572 thousand Air Force Sustainment Center definitive contract (December 2025) for 44 F-16 valve assemblies; and a $206.5 thousand DLA Construction and Equipment purchase order (April 2025) for a non-dehydrator unit. The division also holds a $1.91 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for linear direct-acting valves (NSN 4810-01-607-7882), with a three-year base period and two one-year options, from which multiple delivery orders have been executed.

Customer concentration sits almost entirely with Defense Logistics Agency subdivisions. The top five funding agencies account for 94% of awards: DLA Aviation dominates at 466 awards and $36.5 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime at 333 awards and $29.6 million, and DLA Troop Support Hardware at 104 awards. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command, the Department of the Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, and the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command round out the active set but represent single-digit award counts and limited dollar exposure relative to DLA's footprint. Awards cluster in industrial-valve and aircraft-parts manufacturing (NAICS codes 332912 and 336413), with procurement activity coded to powered and nonpowered valves and engine fuel system components.

Aero Fluid Products holds positions on five named indefinite delivery contracts as the prime contractor, with the largest generating 19 task orders worth $329 thousand (Indefinite Delivery Contract SPE7LX14D0062). Activity has been volatile—27 awards in 2022, dropping to 7 in 2023, then rising to 88 in 2024 and 74 in 2025—with 20 awards (combined potential value $3.4 million) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months and facing recompete exposure.

In its subcontractor role, Aero Fluid Products delivers fluid control components and valve assemblies to Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (supporting V-22 Osprey production and logistics), Bell Textron Inc. (bleed valves and control valves for vertical lift aircraft), Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation (duct assemblies, solenoid valves, and manifolds for Global Hawk and P-3 programs), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (solenoid valves and fuel system spares for MQ-9 Reaper support and services), Raytheon Company (PATRIOT radar and fire control system components), Textron Systems (material supply for LCAC 100-class craft), and Honeywell International (clutch control valves). Sub work spans production support, logistics, spare parts provisioning, and platform-specific maintenance and engineering requirements for Navy, Air Force, and Army rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms.

Across both prime and sub footprint, Aero Fluid Products' capability profile centers on manufacture and delivery of source-controlled aerospace fluid control hardware—check valves, solenoid valves, relief valves, actuators, manifolds, seals, and related precision components—with demonstrated execution history supporting critical military aircraft maintenance and operational readiness across F-16, F-35, V-22 Osprey, MQ-9 Reaper, MH-60T, P-3, and Global Hawk platforms.
