The vendor’s obligation base is heavily concentrated in defense procurement, and the award volume suggests a mix of large production/modification actions and recurring support activity.
Agency mix and customer concentration
The DEPT OF THE NAVY is the dominant customer, accounting for $15.37 billion across 5,875 awards and representing the clear center of gravity in the vendor’s federal portfolio. The DEPT OF THE AIR FORCE is a distant second at $2.26 billion, while the DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY adds $512.72 million across 1,177 awards. DCMA shows negative obligations of $137.64 million, which indicates downward adjustments or deobligations rather than net new spend.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
The portfolio is led by NAICS 336411, Aircraft Manufacturing, with $10.61 billion across 619 awards, followed by NAICS 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with $5.13 billion across 7,055 awards. Engineering Services (541330) adds $1.87 billion, while smaller shares are spread across aerospace systems, navigation, and R&D-related codes, confirming a concentration in aircraft and advanced defense manufacturing. The award count is especially high under 336413, suggesting many smaller transactional actions within a large manufacturing base.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations remain elevated but uneven across the period shown, ranging from $1.39 billion in 2022 and 2025 to a high of $2.18 billion in 2024. Award counts track a similarly active pattern, peaking at 1,098 in 2023 and staying above 800 in each listed year. The sequence points to sustained procurement activity rather than a single-year spike, with recent obligations still material despite year-to-year variation.
