Woodward, Inc.

Woodward, Inc. Fuel Systems And Controls Division, operating as Woodward, manufactures and overhauls fuel control systems, engine components, sensors, and aerospace parts for the Department of Defense as a prime contractor, competing in full-and-open procurement with no small business set-asides. The division is a child entity of Woodward, Inc., a for-profit manufacturer headquartered in Loves Park, Illinois, with over 70 years of federal contracting history serving military aviation platforms including the F-15, F-16, B-52, A-10, UH-60 Black Hawk, and various Coast Guard rotorcraft.

Woodward's federal footprint is heavily concentrated in two customer segments. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation dominates by award count—2,949 awards representing 59% of total awards across the portfolio, though these predominantly span individual spare parts and components valued at $612.4 million combined potential value. By contract potential value, however, the Department of the Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command anchors the portfolio at $665.4 million across 60 awards, reflecting larger indefinite delivery contracts and delivery orders for hydro-mechanical unit (CHMU) overhaul and upgrade work on the T700 engine for UH-60 and AH-64 helicopters. The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command ($243.7 million across 110 awards), the Air Force Sustainment Center ($103.7 million across 223 awards), and Naval Air Systems Command ($96.4 million across 95 awards) complete the top five. The top five customer organizations by potential value account for 91% of all combined potential value. Woodward operates across 26 distinct federal agencies but remains heavily weighted toward defense logistics and engine sustainment work.

Capability footprint centers on repair and remanufacturing of specialized aerospace propulsion components. Recent representative work includes a $74.6 million single-award IDIQ from the Army (April 2026 through April 2029) for three-year overhaul and upgrade of Common Hydro-Mechanical Units on T700 engines, a $14.1 million single-award IDIQ from Naval Supply Systems Command (April 2025 through April 2027) for main fuel control repair and maintenance, a $4.06 million single-award IDIQ from the Air Force Sustainment Center (July 2024 through June 2029) for F107 main fuel control repair, and multiple smaller delivery orders for F108 CIT sensor repair, F110 fan discharge temperature sensor remanufacture, TF34 main fuel control overhaul for A-10 support, and MH-60T main fuel control overhaul for the Coast Guard. Work is performed at Woodward's primary facility in Loves Park, Illinois. The company holds 99% prime awards and 1% sub awards across its portfolio, with recent subcontract work flowing through General Electric Company (engine hardware for F-15EX and F110/T408/T700 programs) and V2X Aerospace LLC (aircraft maintenance materials and auxiliary equipment).

Parent vehicles are dominated by DLA single-award IDIQs: SPE4AX13D9417 carries 1,171 task orders valued at $41.1 million, SPM40003D9402 carries 476 task orders valued at $12.1 million. The Army CHMU IDIQ (awarded April 2026) and Navy fuel control IDIQ (awarded April 2025) represent the largest current single-award indefinite delivery vehicles by ceiling value ($74.6 million and $14.1 million respectively). Activity has grown from 34 awards in 2022 to a peak of 50 in 2024, with 43 awards in 2025 and 12 year-to-date in 2026 (partial year). Thirteen awards totaling $58.9 million in combined potential value complete within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure primarily on smaller DLA spare-parts IDIQs and selected Air Force and Navy engine component repair contracts.

The vendor portfolio spans 1,764 awards under Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing (NAICS 336412), 1,311 under Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing, 329 under Hardware Manufacturing, and 289 under Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing. Primary PSC coding clusters around Engine Fuel System Components for Aircraft and Missile Prime Movers (1,743 awards), with secondary concentrations in Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers (287 awards) and Powered Valves (257 awards). Combined potential value across all 5,027 awards (prime and sub) reaches $1.89 billion with $898 million obligated, placing Woodward as a high-volume, established defense aerospace supplier operating exclusively in full-and-open competition rather than set-aside categories.
