Woodward HRT Inc.

Woodward HRT Inc., a division of Woodward, Inc.'s Industrial Products Group headquartered in Santa Clarita, California, manufactures precision-engineered hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical components and subassemblies for defense and aerospace applications as a prime contractor (95% of recent awards) and occasional subcontractor, competing in full-and-open federal procurement without small business set-asides. The company operates from its primary manufacturing facility in Valencia, California, and competes across NAICS 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), 336413 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), and related codes spanning pressure control valves, servovalves, actuators, cylinders, and fastening components.

Woodward HRT's customer base concentrates heavily on defense logistics and naval supply. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation leads by volume and dollars (2,565 awards, $4.2 billion combined potential value), followed by the Naval Supply Systems Command (518 awards, $324.6 million), the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (138 awards, $107 million), and the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (131 awards, $62 million). These five customers account for approximately 98% of combined potential value across Woodward HRT's award footprint. The concentration reflects Woodward HRT's specialization: across the award history, 2,895 awards fall under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with 2,047 awards classified under Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components (PSC code).

Representative prime work includes a $8.04 million sole-source definitive contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center (July 2025) for linear actuation caps; a $7.59 million definitive contract with the Air Force Materiel Command (February 2026) for F100 servo valve module kits; a $6.92 million definitive contract with Naval Supply Systems Command (July 2025) for servocylinder assemblies; a $4.5 million definitive contract with DLA Aviation (February 2026) for AH-64 Apache cylinder assembly production; and a $1.492 million definitive contract with DLA Land and Maritime (July 2025) for flow control valves. Smaller delivery orders span the range below $500 thousand for specialized components—servo valves, hydraulic drive units, actuators, poppet seats, spacer rings, seals, fasteners, and electrical subassemblies. All recent awards carry firm fixed-price terms and no set-aside designation, reflecting Woodward HRT's competitive standing in open competition.

Woodward HRT holds a $250 thousand single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with DLA Land and Maritime for O-rings (NSN 5331010940165), awarded October 2025 with estimated annual ordering volume of three delivery orders. The company places work under five primary government-wide vehicles: Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A119G0004 (682 task orders, $66.2 million combined potential value), Indefinite Delivery Contract SPM4AX09D9409 (304 task orders, $15.2 million), Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A124G0010 (244 task orders, $24.3 million), Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A114G0005 (217 task orders, $28.2 million), and Indefinite Delivery Contract SP070099G0004 (212 task orders).

Activity has grown from 177 awards in 2022 to 394 in 2025, with 98 awards year-to-date in 2026. Eighty-two awards (combined potential value $66.5 million) face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore carry recompete exposure.

Woodward HRT subcontracts to major defense primes, most notably Bell Textron (H-1 Performance Based Logistics delivery orders and Nigerian Foreign Military Sales work for AH-1Z actuators across 2025–2026) and The Boeing Company (Apache Advanced Procurement Lot 12 full-rate production electro-hydraulic-mechanical components, November 2025). General Dynamics Land Systems awarded a sub-task for Abrams tank SEPv3 upgrade requirements (April 2026). Across all recent sub-awards, the work centers on actuators, hydraulic components, and mechanical assemblies for rotorcraft and fixed-wing platforms. Woodward HRT's role as both a prime contractor to DLA Aviation and a focused subcontractor to helicopter and attack aircraft primes positions it as a critical mid-tier supplier of control and actuation components within the defense supply chain, with particular depth in servo and electrohydraulic subsystems for military platforms.
