Cuda II, Inc.

Cuda II, Inc., operating through its Aerospace Products Company division, is an Indianapolis-based manufacturer of precision-machined aerospace components and military specification hardware that supplies the Defense Logistics Agency as a prime contractor on firm fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders, competing exclusively in full-and-open federal procurement with no set-aside designation across most of its portfolio, though one recent Total Small Business set-aside delivery order appears in 2025.

Cuda II's customer base is entirely concentrated within the Defense Logistics Agency's four main operating divisions. The top five DLA customers account for 97% of recent awards, dominated by DLA Aviation (93 awards, $1.5 million combined potential value) and DLA Land and Maritime (50 awards, $1.6 million combined potential value), with DLA Troop Support Construction and Equipment (52 awards, $871 thousand) and DLA Troop Support Hardware (87 awards, $629 thousand) rounding out the active set. The dollar rankings align closely with award frequency — Land and Maritime and Aviation represent the largest shares of both volume and potential value, indicating a consistent, transactional relationship across multiple small-dollar purchase orders and delivery orders rather than a concentrated few large contracts.

Cuda II holds positions on five DLA Indefinite Delivery Contracts with combined annual ordering activity: IDC SPM50002D0134 (8 task orders, $310 thousand combined potential value) anchors the largest vehicle, followed by SPE7L322D60BZ (9 task orders, $53 thousand) and SPE4A721D5162 (9 task orders, $38 thousand), with two smaller IDCs supplying an additional $88 thousand across nine orders. These vehicles span starter covers, intake manifold covers, key washers, rod end retainers, lubrication fittings, and synchronizer clamps — a discrete, repeatable portfolio of aircraft engine and vehicle drive-train components. Representative awards include a $28.8 million Land and Maritime delivery order for starter covers (March 2022), a $8.1 million Aviation delivery order for intake manifold covers (June 2024), and a $6.3 million Aviation delivery order for the same intake manifold cover line item (September 2024). All three carry firm fixed-price terms and perform in Indianapolis.

Cuda II's award activity has declined sharply in recent years. The vendor received 16 awards in 2021, 11 in 2022, then dropped to 2 in 2023, 3 in 2024, and 5 in 2025 — a trajectory suggesting either reduced DLA ordering volume for these components or a shift in how DLA consolidates supplier awards across its portfolio. Over the same period, combined potential value across all 295 awards totals $15.2 million, with only $3.4 million (22%) obligated, indicating most awards remain at ceiling value rather than full consumption. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal — just one award ($5 thousand combined potential value) faces ultimate completion in that window. The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards); no subcontract work appears in the source.

Cuda II's capability portfolio is narrowly defined by manufacturing NAICS: Hardware Manufacturing (83 awards), Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing (75 awards), and Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (37 awards). PSC coding reinforces this specificity — Nuts and Washers (71 awards), Hardware, Commercial (71 awards), Hose, Pipe, Tube, Lubrication, and Railing Fittings (37 awards), and Miscellaneous Engine Accessories, Aircraft (26 awards) dominate the procurement footprint. This is a single-mission, single-customer profile: Cuda II is a parts supplier to DLA's aviation and vehicle logistics networks, executing high-frequency, low-dollar procurement cycles in a mature, stable market.
