Transicoil LLC

Transicoil LLC, operating as Ads Transicoil and headquartered in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, manufactures specialized aerospace components and repair services for defense customers as a prime contractor on over 920 awards, with no SBA set-aside activity across its federal footprint. A subsidiary of TransDigm Group Incorporated, Transicoil competes in full-and-open procurements and holds no small business designations.

Transicoil's core capability is manufacturing highly engineered mechanical and electromechanical components for military aviation, including aircraft digital clocks, liquid crystal display modules, indicators, amplifiers, bridge card assemblies, circuit card assemblies, actuators, gears, switches, fasteners, and various electronic components. The vendor also performs repair and sustainment work on specialized aircraft systems. Representative prime work includes a $5.43 million single-award indefinite delivery contract from the Air Force Sustainment Center (awarded December 2025) for repair of aircraft digital clocks across multiple models with a seven-year performance period through September 2032; a $1.2 million single-award IDC from the Air Force Sustainment Center (awarded May 2024) for repair of AN/ARC-164 liquid crystal display modules for ultra-high frequency airborne radio systems; and individual delivery orders and purchase orders from the Defense Logistics Agency ranging from hundreds of dollars to over $698 thousand for aircraft components and assemblies. Recent examples include a $698.4 thousand purchase order from DLA Aviation (November 2025) for plate assembly rear components, a $308 thousand order from DLA Land and Maritime (June 2024) for electronic components, and a $218.3 thousand delivery order from the Air Force Sustainment Center (June 2024) for LCD module support.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted to logistics and sustainment agencies. The top five funding agencies account for 91% of award count and 81% of potential value. DLA Aviation leads by count with 397 awards totaling $11.3 million combined potential value, followed closely by DLA Land and Maritime with 328 awards worth $12.5 million. However, dollar concentration differs sharply: the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command anchors the portfolio with 35 awards totaling $47.9 million combined potential value, and the Air Force Sustainment Center adds 25 awards for $14.6 million. DLA Troop Support Hardware contributes 56 awards valued at $1.6 million. The disparity between award count and dollar value reflects Transicoil's mix of small-dollar DLA purchase orders and larger Air Force sustainment contracts.

Transicoil's vehicle position centers on single-award IDCs. The two largest are with the Air Force Sustainment Center (the December 2025 aircraft digital clock repair IDC at $5.43 million and the May 2024 ARC-164 LCD repair IDC at $1.2 million). The vendor also places work against legacy DLA indefinite delivery contracts established in April 2021 valued at $250 thousand each for specialized amplifier units and pointer/dial components, which continue to generate delivery orders. Five parent IDCs appear in the top vehicles by task order volume, with IDC FA810307D0094 supporting 15 task orders valued at $46 million combined potential.

Activity has been steady. Awards per year ranged from 41 to 49 over the past five fiscal years (2022–2026), with 10 awards recorded in the first three months of 2026. Combined potential value across all 925 awards stands at $108.5 million, with $39 million obligated to date (36% realization). Seven awards totaling $417 thousand in combined potential value reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and face recompete exposure.

Transicoil's subcontract footprint is minimal (1% of awards). Named sub-award primes include The Boeing Company (C-17 Globemaster III total sustainment contracts, three sub-awards from June 2025 through March 2026 for electra/hydra/mechanical work), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Taiwan F-16 A/B Block 20 retrofit program, June 2024, liquid oxygen indicator work), and Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Army helicopter sustainment, April 2024, government-furnished property transfer). These relationships position Transicoil as a component and repair supplier within larger airframe programs.

Transicoil's capabilities concentrate on two primary NAICS categories: Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (239 awards) and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (87 awards), with secondary concentration in motor and generator manufacturing (64 awards) and electronic assembly manufacturing (48 awards). PSC concentration mirrors this portfolio: liquid and gas flow, liquid level, and mechanical motion measuring instruments dominate (211 awards), followed by pressure, temperature, and humidity controlling instruments (86 awards). The vendor manufactures to spec and competes on quality, lead time, and technical documentation compliance rather than cost advantage or set-aside eligibility.
