Aeroparts Machining, LLC

Aeroparts Machining, LLC, doing business as Warnkes Machining Co LLC, manufactures precision-engineered aerospace components and structural assemblies for the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price purchase orders and indefinite delivery contracts, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside posture in its prime awards despite holding four Total Small Business set-aside IDCs.

Aeroparts Machining is a for-profit limited liability company and small business joint venture headquartered in Mansfield, Texas, structured as a manufacturer of goods operating across NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and related mechanical and structural equipment categories. The company competes predominantly in full-and-open procurements, though it holds multiple Total Small Business set-aside indefinite delivery contracts that serve as flexible procurement vehicles for DLA's recurring component needs.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on precision-machined aerospace components: structural supports, brackets, fittings, assemblies, ribs, stiffeners, hinges, door components, and specialized aircraft hardware. Representative recent work includes a $540,000 purchase order from DLA Aviation for structural support components (awarded September 15, 2025), a $197,500 structural support order also from DLA Aviation (January 19, 2025), a $119,000 core material cellulose component order (December 2, 2025), and a $105,000 bracket assembly order under Total Small Business set-aside (July 3, 2025). All work is performed at the Mansfield facility using firm fixed-price pricing.

Customer concentration is extreme. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation component accounts for 882 awards and $12.9 million in combined potential value—63% of all awards and 63% of all dollars across the vendor's entire federal footprint. DLA Land and Maritime follows at 590 awards and $5.9 million (29% of awards, 29% of dollars). DLA Troop Support Hardware (66 awards, $911 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (31 awards, $270 thousand) comprise most of the remainder. This concentration reflects a highly specialized defense logistics supplier role with virtually no civilian agency exposure.

The vendor places purchase orders and delivery orders against five named indefinite delivery contract vehicles. The top IDCs by task order volume are SPE4A718D5358 (13 task orders, $81 thousand combined value), SPE4A722D0197 (8 task orders, $137 thousand), and SPE4A719D0297, SPE4A719D5410, and SPE4A714D5690 (7, 7, and 6 task orders respectively). Four recent Total Small Business set-aside IDCs, each valued at approximately $250,000, were awarded between March 26, 2025 and September 4, 2025, covering bracket assemblies, wiring, stops and extensions, and sleeve and keeper assemblies; these vehicles run through 2030 and serve as the primary procurement mechanisms for DLA Aviation's recurring orders. A legacy $2 million IDC for engine hanger cones was established in April 2022.

Activity has grown sharply year over year—from 55 awards in 2022 to 171 in 2025—with 38 awards already placed in the first three months of 2026. The vendor exhibits strong recompete exposure: 114 awards (combined potential value $2.2 million) reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing roughly 11% of the active portfolio by count and 11% by dollars. Most of these are small purchase orders; the largest near-term completions include the $540,000 structural support order (October 2026), the $197,500 structural support order (May 2025), the $119,000 core material order (May 2026), and several $50,000+ orders for aircraft stiffeners, fairings, pivot-shaft assemblies, and jaw clutch components.

Aeroparts Machining operates as a pure prime contractor with zero subcontract activity in the source data. The vendor holds no known teaming relationships and does not appear on any larger contractors' subcontract rolls. Its federal business model is direct delivery of components to DLA Aviation, Land and Maritime, and Troop Support under its own IDCs.

The NAICS and PSC concentration underscores the vendor's specialization. The top NAICS codes are Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (721 awards), Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing (356 awards), and Hardware Manufacturing (128 awards). Product Service Code 15-P (Airframe Structural Components) anchors 624 awards; PSC 26-P (Miscellaneous Power Transmission Equipment) accounts for 428 awards. This narrow scope—precision aerospace hardware for military aviation, naval, and ground vehicle logistics—defines the vendor's entire competitive footprint.

The company has been registered in the System for Award Management since January 2002, with first federal award dated September 15, 1986 (likely a legacy historical entry). Recent activity spans September 2024 through April 2026, with individual award values ranging from approximately $1,575 to $540,000. Combined potential value across all 1,657 awards in the source is $20.4 million, with $14.6 million obligated (72% obligation rate). The vendor's posture is that of a critical small business supplier locked into the DLA defense logistics supply chain, competing on technical capability and manufacturing reliability rather than on price-based set-asides or broad contract vehicle participation.
