Velo Aviation LLC

Velo Aviation LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in San Diego, California, supplies KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling aircraft spare parts and logistics support to the U.S. Air Force as a prime contractor on full-and-open delivery orders under the KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) IDIQ.

Velo Aviation is organized as a limited liability company and competes without set-aside designations across its entire prime footprint. The vendor holds two active indefinite-delivery contracts: the $1.894 billion KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) IDIQ awarded October 1, 2022, running through September 30, 2027, and the $470.978 million KC-46 Commercial Aircraft Strategic Parts Exchange and Repair IDIQ awarded July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. Both contracts are multiple-award vehicles. Velo Aviation's capability portfolio centers on aircraft spare parts procurement, inventory management, and logistics support for the KC-46A Tanker Modernization Major Defense Acquisition Program. Recent representative work includes a $26.537 million delivery order (July 1, 2026) for KC-46A initial spare parts under the KIS IDIQ, a $52.448 million delivery order (April 25, 2025) for Tinker Air Force Base spare parts, and a $5.637 million order (March 24, 2025) supporting Travis and Tinker Air Force Bases — all firm fixed-price awards with completion dates ranging from late 2025 through mid-2027.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-threaded. The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base accounts for 8 awards valued at $1.94 billion (79% of combined potential value), and the Air Force Sustainment Center accounts for 4 awards valued at $525 million (21%). The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime represents a single $4,695 purchase order. Nine of thirteen awards flow through the KC-46 Initial Spares vehicle, carrying $99.7 million in combined potential value. Activity has grown from two awards annually in 2022–2024 to four awards in 2026 year-to-date. Three awards with combined potential value $80.6 million face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore trigger recompete exposure — including the $26.537 million July 2026 delivery order completing July 1, 2028, and the $52.448 million April 2025 order completing July 27, 2027. Velo Aviation holds no subcontract awards in the source data; all thirteen awards are prime positions. The vendor's category footprint is concentrated in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS, all 13 awards) and Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (PSC, 9 awards).
