W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED

W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED, a Canadian manufacturer of aviation and defense components based in Ottawa, Ontario, supplies precision electronic and mechanical parts to the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor (93% of recent awards) competing in the open market without set-aside protection. The company holds two active single-award indefinite delivery contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, each valued at $250,000 through 2029, and competes full-and-open across its footprint.

W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED manufactures tie-rod assemblies, circuit card assemblies, heat sinks, cowlings, heat suppressors, wiring harnesses, structural panels, power supplies, and electrical components for military aircraft maintenance and naval systems. Recent representative work includes a $32,452 tie-rod assembly delivery order placed under DLA Aviation in July 2025 (completion October 2026), a $351,824 circuit card assembly purchase order from the Naval Supply Systems Command awarded May 2023 for 22 units (completion February 2025), a $685,023 electrical heat sink order from NAVSUP awarded September 2024 (completion October 2026), and a $457,600 cowling production contract from DLA Aviation awarded September 2023 (completion March 2025). The company also provides software support for naval systems including a $110,750 ShipIR/NTCS infrared modeling software subscription to Naval Sea Systems Command with option years extending through April 2027.

Customer concentration sits heavily with the Department of the Navy. The top five funding agencies account for 98% of combined potential value, with the Naval Supply Systems Command anchoring the portfolio at 129 awards ($6.9 million combined potential value), followed closely by DLA Aviation (148 awards, $3.7 million). NAVSUP places smaller, high-dollar orders (averaging $54 thousand per award), while DLA Aviation places numerous smaller delivery orders (averaging $25 thousand per award) under the company's framework contracts. Naval Sea Systems Command, DLA Land and Maritime, and Army Materiel Command round out the active customer set. The two ranking lists diverge notably: DLA Aviation leads in award count but NAVSUP leads in total dollars, indicating a customer concentration by value rather than transaction volume.

W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED places task orders under two named indefinite delivery contracts with DLA Aviation (SPE4A724D5595, $99 thousand across five task orders, and an unnamed $250 thousand vehicle). The company also holds positions on five additional parent vehicles including a Canadian Commercial Corporation-administered supply contract (SPRRA1-22-D-0001 with six task orders) and two U.S. Air Force basic ordering agreements (FA862016G3013 and SPE4A119G0020, two task orders each). The DLA Aviation framework agreements drive the majority of delivery-order activity across the recent footprint.

Activity has grown from 23 awards in 2022 to a peak of 42 in 2024, then moderated to 29 in 2025 and two in early 2026 (reflecting the source snapshot date of mid-July 2026). Fifteen awards (combined potential value $1.2 million) reach ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure across DLA Aviation and NAVSUP vehicles.

In its subcontractor role, W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED supplies machined parts, assemblies, and tie-rod components to The Boeing Company, Sierra Nevada Company LLC, Electric Boat Corporation, and Marinette Marine Corporation on programs including aircraft component supply, submarine construction (SSN 804), and guided-missile frigate detail design and construction. Canadian Commercial Corporation also uses W.r. Davis as a supplier for foreign military sales programs and heat suppressors, with multiple sub-awards dating through October 2025.

The company maintains a subsidiary, W.r. Davis, Inc., designated as a self-certified small disadvantaged business and foreign-owned manufacturer. W.r. Davis Engineering LIMITED has held SAM.gov registration continuously since August 2001 and competes exclusively in the open market across its prime footprint, with no SBA set-asides on record across the 332 prime awards in the source.
