Woodward HRT Inc.

Woodward HRT Inc., a division of Woodward Governor Company headquartered in Santa Clarita, California, is a specialized manufacturer of precision-engineered hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical components for defense and aerospace applications. Operating from its primary manufacturing facility in Valencia, California, the company has maintained an active federal contracting relationship with the Department of Defense since 2002 and serves as both a prime contractor and subcontractor across multiple defense agencies. Woodward HRT Inc. specializes in producing critical subsystems and components essential to military aircraft, maritime vessels, and land-based defense platforms, positioning itself as a key supplier within the defense industrial base.

Woodward HRT Inc. has secured a diverse portfolio of federal contract awards totaling substantial value across multiple defense agencies, with particular concentration among the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, DLA Land and Maritime, Naval Supply Systems Command, and Air Force Sustainment Center. The company has demonstrated competitive capability in open federal procurement, as evidenced by the absence of set-aside designations across its contract awards, indicating its ability to compete successfully against other qualified vendors without small business protections. Prime contract deliverables have encompassed an extensive range of specialized components including servocylinder assemblies, hydraulic actuators, servo valves, linear actuation caps, module kit segments for F-100 engines, flow control valves, directional control valve bodies, piston assemblies, and various fastening components such as pins, washers, springs, gaskets, and seals. The company has received multiple large-value definitive contracts and delivery orders, with individual awards ranging from under $1,000 to over $8 million, reflecting both routine component replenishment procurements and strategic spare parts buys. Woodward HRT Inc. maintains substantial subcontract relationships with major defense prime contractors including The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bell Textron Inc., and Bell Boeing Joint Project Office, supplying electro-hydraulic and mechanical (EHM) components, actuators, master cylinder assemblies, and conventional aileron systems. The company's subcontract work with these tier-one contractors further demonstrates its technical qualification and reliability as a supplier of mission-critical aerospace and defense components supporting advanced military platforms.

Woodward HRT Inc. holds two single-award Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, each with a $250,000 ceiling value, representing automated procurement vehicles that facilitate efficient sourcing of critical military components. The first IDC, awarded December 30, 2024, with performance extending through December 30, 2025, covers SPRING, HELICAL, COMP (NSN 5360000887649), with two delivery orders already issued totaling $76,260 as of April 2025, representing approximately 30 percent of the contract ceiling. The second IDC, awarded October 7, 2025, with completion targeted for October 7, 2026, covers O-rings (NSN 5331010940165) with an estimated three orders annually and a guaranteed minimum quantity of 12 units. Both contracts were established through competitive Request for Quote processes with no set-aside designations, reflecting the company's demonstrated capability to compete openly in federal procurement. These IDC vehicles enable the Defense Logistics Agency to efficiently procure essential mechanical and sealing components supporting the readiness and operational capabilities of U.S. military assets across aviation, maritime, and land-based operational domains, with deliveries directed to various DLA depots throughout the continental United States and overseas locations. The IDC procurement structures, incorporating estimated annual order volumes and guaranteed minimum quantities, provide baseline planning mechanisms while allowing for expanded orders up to ceiling values, demonstrating the DLA's strategic reliance on Woodward HRT Inc. as a stable, long-term supplier of precision-engineered components essential to sustained military readiness.
