Ultrax Aerospace Inc.

Ultrax Aerospace Inc., a Subchapter S corporation manufacturer based in Lee's Summit, Missouri, produces specialized electronic test equipment and repair services for military rotary-wing aircraft platforms, operating as a prime contractor on 95% of its federal awards with no set-aside designations across the footprint.

Ultrax delivers concrete, mission-critical capabilities: design, manufacturing, and overhaul of electronic test sets, pod assemblies, and specialized diagnostic equipment supporting UH-60 Black Hawk, HH-60G, HH-60W, CH-47, and MH-60T helicopter maintenance and operational readiness. The company manufactures and repairs UX Validator series test sets, Blade Burn Pod Sets, Stabilator Electronic Systems Test Sets, Engine Indications Test Set Adapters, and aircraft electrical systems test equipment — all NSN-coded components integral to rotary-wing aircraft sustainment. Representative prime work includes a $4.63 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Materiel Command (awarded October 2024, through October 2026) for UX Validator II test set repair and overhaul supporting HH-60W operations; a $1.43 million firm fixed-price purchase order from the Coast Guard (August 2025) for manufacture of T70X Engine Indications Test Set Adapters supporting MH-60T maintenance; a $724,595 delivery order from the Army Aviation and Missile Command (March 2023) for electronic test sets supporting the UH-60M Black Hawk program; and a $928,384 purchase order from the Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection (June 2023, extending through December 2027) for calibration, upgrade, and repair of 17 Black Hawk test devices. Work is performed at Ultrax's facility in Lee's Summit, Missouri, with some National Guard and international foreign military sales work performed at customer sites.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Army aviation sustainment and Army contracting commands. The top five customer entities by potential value account for 86% of the combined $117.7 million potential value: Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command ($41.5 million across 34 awards), Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command ($35.2 million across 46 awards), Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center ($10.3 million across 30 awards), Army Materiel Command Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground ($8.1 million across 6 awards), and Defense Logistics Agency Aviation ($6.4 million across 34 awards). By award count, the Army footprint dominates: Department of the Army (59 awards), Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (46 awards), Communications Electronics Command (34 awards), and Naval Supply Systems Command (39 awards) comprise roughly 50% of the 420-award portfolio. The Army contracting structure bifurcates customer concentration — acquisition dollars flow through specialized AMCOM sub-commands (ALMC and CEC) rather than a single Army entity, but the underlying buyer is the same.

Ultrax holds three active indefinite delivery vehicles on its prime portfolio. The Air Force Materiel Command awarded the $4.63 million single-award IDC for UX Validator II repair in October 2024 (ultimate completion October 2026), with one firm fixed-price delivery order of $134,262 issued to date (July 2025). The Navy Naval Air Systems Command awarded a $424,206 Basic Ordering Agreement in April 2022 (through April 2027) for UX Validator services. The Air Force Materiel Command Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex awarded a $704,480 IDC in August 2021 (expired August 2024) for HH-60G test set repair. Named task-order vehicles include Army Indefinite Delivery Contracts W15P7T07DA404 (9 task orders, $16.5 million combined value) and W58RGZ18D0001 (6 task orders) supporting AMCOM programs, and Basic Ordering Agreement N6833522G0036 with the Navy (5 task orders, $229 thousand). The top NAICS categories reflect the core business: Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (102 awards), Other Electronic Component Manufacturing (68 awards), and Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (56 awards). Primary PSC codes are Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment (154 awards) and Electrical and Electronic Properties Measuring and Testing Instruments (64 awards).

Activity has grown from a baseline of 14 awards in 2022 to 22 in 2025, with 6 awards in 2026 year-to-date (reflecting the three-month-old snapshot). Over the full award history in the source (dating to September 1996), Ultrax has registered $70 million in obligated dollars against $117.7 million in combined potential value, indicating a 59% spend-down rate and sustained order flow. The recompete cliff is minimal: only 5 awards (combined potential value $1.5 million) complete within the next twenty-four months, indicating a stable, low-risk portfolio.

Ultrax subcontracts on approximately 5% of its federal work (21 sub-awards), primarily under prime contractors Amentum Services Inc. (global aviation maintenance services supporting Army Aviation and Missile Command), Defense Systems and Solutions (UH-60 and CH-47 Foreign Military Sales and initial fielding packages), Science and Engineering Services LLC (technical supply package support for Latvia and Slovak Republic), M1 Support Services L.P. (Army and Air Force aircraft maintenance), and CACI Technologies LLC (modeling and simulation task orders). Sub-work emphasizes test set procurement, repair services, and technical supply packages for Army and NATO partner aviation programs, particularly H-60 and CH-47 fielding and sustainment.

Ultrax has been registered in SAM.gov since 2002 and maintains no SBA certifications across the portfolio — it competes as a full-and-open small business without 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB designations. The company is domestically owned and operates from a single production and service facility in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
