Agency mix and customer concentration
The Department of the Army is the dominant customer, accounting for 3.84 billion across 289 awards, followed by the Department of the Navy at 1.07 billion across 1,053 awards. The Defense Logistics Agency adds substantial transaction volume with 3,840 awards and 373.96 million obligated, while FBI and DEA activity is comparatively limited and smaller in dollar value.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
NAICS 336411 Aircraft Manufacturing is the core category, representing 4.15 billion and 5,317 awards, which indicates that the vendor’s federal work is primarily tied to aircraft production. NAICS 336413 Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing is the second-largest category at 1.02 billion, while smaller amounts appear in scale and balance manufacturing, other engine equipment manufacturing, and engineering services, suggesting a broader but secondary support base.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Obligated value increased each year from 340.56 million in 2021 to 2.08 billion in 2025, showing a sustained upward trajectory over the analysis window. Award counts remained relatively stable in the 1,500-1,700 range annually, so the growth is driven more by larger-dollar obligations than by a major expansion in transaction volume.
