Cuda II, Inc.

Cuda II, Inc. Midwest Aircraft Machine & Tool Company Division, doing business as Midwest Aircraft Machine & Tool, manufactures precision-machined aerospace components and specialized aircraft maintenance equipment as a prime contractor (98% of recent awards) serving the Department of Defense and Coast Guard on full-and-open, unrestricted purchase orders. The Indianapolis-based for-profit manufacturer is a child entity of parent Cuda II, Inc. (Aerospace Products Company), with no SBA set-aside certifications across its prime footprint, though one recent award carried a Total Small Business set-aside designation.

Cuda II's customer concentration is heavily weighted toward Navy technical commands and DLA aviation support. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center leads by potential value—43 awards carrying $14.2 million in combined potential value—while the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates by award count with 97 orders (combined potential value $1.7 million). The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard accounts for 16 awards valued at $1.2 million. These three customers represent 87% of combined potential value across the portfolio. DLA Aviation's large order count reflects transactional low-dollar component purchases, while NAVAIR's dollars concentrate in higher-value delivery orders for engine handling adapters and specialized fixtures.

The company places work under five active indefinite delivery vehicle contracts with NAVAIR, most prominently IDV N6833520D0004 (7 task orders, $1.7 million combined potential value) and N6833508D0036 (5 task orders, $3 million combined potential value), which support engine handling and aircraft component procurement. Recent representative prime awards include a $239,342 Coast Guard purchase order (May 2026) for Rolls-Royce manufacturing tools and engine lift assemblies for C-130J transition operations, a $197,001 Air Force Special Operations Command order (August 2025, Total Small Business set-aside) for C-130J wash hose sets, a $99,863 Coast Guard sole-source award (July 2024) for a maintenance engine stand and J-hook sling, and a $76,589 Coast Guard purchase order (June 2023) for HC-27J spare parts as a Rolls-Royce authorized distributor. A $28,267 NAVAIR delivery order (April 2024) covered MQ-4C Triton unmanned air system support equipment including viewing cover bypass units and puller tools.

Activity has grown from 8 awards in 2022 to 20 in 2025, with 5 awards recorded year-to-date in 2026. Only 2 awards (combined potential value $268 thousand) reach ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, presenting minimal recompete exposure in the near term. The vendor also subcontracts to Lockheed Martin on aircraft fixed-wing component and propeller assembly work; documented sub-awards from 2024 include propeller flange parts, hose set assemblies, and propeller brake release fixtures.

Cuda II's capability portfolio centers on engine handling adapters, propeller components, turbine wash kits, protective fasteners and plugs, socket wrenches, aircraft maintenance fixtures, and specialized tools for military aviation platforms—predominantly C-130J, MQ-4C, and naval aircraft. Work is performed in Indianapolis with deliveries to DLA Distribution, NAVAIR facilities, and Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center. The vendor competes entirely unrestricted; all but one award carry no set-aside designation, indicating a positioning as a mainstream aerospace supplier rather than a set-aside specialist.
