Turbine Aviation Inc.

Turbine Aviation, a sole-proprietorship manufacturer based in Oceanside, California, supplies precision-manufactured aerospace and aircraft components—metallic tubes, seal rings, support assemblies, and running gear components—to the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor under full-and-open and small-business set-aside purchase orders. The company qualifies as a small business but competes across both set-aside (Total Small Business) and unrestricted procurement channels, with no SBA 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other formal certifications evident in the source.

Turbine Aviation's customer footprint is concentrated in DLA and Air Force logistics. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation division anchors the portfolio with 22 awards valued at $3.9 million combined potential value, followed by DLA Land and Maritime (17 awards, $106 thousand), DLA Construction and Equipment (7 awards, $56 thousand), and the Department of the Air Force (8 awards, unnamed value). These five customer lines account for 84% of awards and 93% of combined potential value. The work is entirely metallic tubes, turbine components, seal rings, and aircraft support assemblies—primarily NAICS 541512 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) and PSC 1640 (Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft, and Components). Recent representative awards include a $12,425.85 firm fixed-price purchase order from DLA Land and Maritime (November 2025) for metallic tubes, a $17,428.55 DLA Aviation order for seal ring components (July 2025), and a $13,480.39 Total Small Business set-aside from DLA Land and Maritime for metallic tubes (July 2025).

Turbine Aviation operates entirely as a prime contractor (100% of 74 awards) with no subcontract footprint. Parent vehicle concentration is light—the largest IDIQs are Indefinite Delivery Contracts SPE4A717D0169 (5 task orders, $38 thousand) and SPE4A712D0103 (4 task orders, $44 thousand)—indicating that most work flows through individual purchase orders rather than standing vehicles. Activity has been episodic: one or two awards annually from 2020–2021, then a modest uptick to seven awards in 2024 and three in 2025. The company carries a long SAM.gov registration dating to 2002 and has demonstrated consistent delivery across DLA divisions since the mid-1990s; however, the recent award flow (average of 4.6 per year over 2023–2025) is smaller in dollar volume ($4.7 million combined potential value across 74 awards, or roughly $63 thousand per award) and activity tempo than typical federal prime contractors. No recompete cliff or multi-year contract vehicle concentration poses forward risk; the business is purchase-order-driven and episodic.
