U.S. Government Aerospace Procurement Intelligence

Executive Summary

Weekly PartsBase Government Data shows 6,547 aerospace-related solicitations between 2026-02-09 and 2026-02-15, a 9.3% decline vs. the prior week, with total estimated value of $523.22M. Demand remains heavily concentrated in DLA, which accounted for the overwhelming share of solicitations, while Navy solicitations and several FSGs show pockets of high-value, near-term opportunities. Notable spikes in FSG 53 and other commodity groups indicate shifting supply-chain focus for ship and vehicle components.

Agency Concentration Analysis

DLA accounted for 6,259 of the 6,547 solicitations in the reporting window, representing approximately 95.6% of solicitations and indicating persistent DLA-led transactional volume and catalog activity in aerospace-related supply flows. NAVY is the distant second with 250 solicitations (≈3.8%), while Army, USAF and other agencies contributed minimal counts. The distribution implies that a majority of supplier touchpoints for weekly aerospace parts discovery remain routed through DLA-managed channels, with Navy solicitations concentrated in higher-value platform components and assemblies.

Notable is the presence of both common fasteners and higher-value electronic/modulator line items among the most requested NIINs, indicating parallel demand across low-cost consumables and specialized avionics components in the same reporting window.

FSC / FSG Trend Analysis

Top FSGs by request count: 53 (1,666), 59 (700), 65 (563), 25 (362), 61 (359). FSG 53 led all groups and posted a sizable increase vs. last week (+468 requests, +39.1%), while others such as 25 and 15 nearly doubled or posted large percentage increases, signaling surges in mechanical and airframe/structural component demand.

Decreases were concentrated in FSG 59 (-35.4%), 48 (-54.8%), and 47 (-37.5%), which suggests a week-over-week rebalancing from some electro/mechanical and communications groups toward structural, fittings and supply-chain replenishment categories.

Interpretive Insights

The data profile—high solicitation volume routed through DLA, simultaneous spikes in FSG 53 and increased requests for both basic hardware and electronic modulators—indicates a dual-mode supply demand: large-scale catalog replenishment for consumables and targeted solicitations for platform-level hardware and avionics assemblies. Recent platform modernization and logistics-readiness activities across naval and joint aviation programs provide contextual support for these patterns ^[1].

Fiscal and oversight pressures in federal procurement continue to affect timing and award cadence, which may partially explain the week-to-week volatility in certain FSGs and overall solicitation totals ^[2]. The transition of search and award-discovery functionality toward SAM.gov, and related system consolidation notices, means SAM.gov functions as the authoritative source for opportunity discovery and updates ^[3].

Market Takeaway

Concentration of solicitations within DLA dominates the weekly signal and suggests that catalog and system-level distribution channels drive most sourcing events in this window. The simultaneous rise in FSG 53 and several other mechanical/structural groups points to increased demand for ship- and vehicle-related components, while repeated high-value Navy solicitations reflect continued platform sustainment and discrete modernization buys. Week-over-week declines in selected electronic and specialty groups appear episodic when contrasted with the larger DLA-driven volume, creating a market environment where suppliers of both commodity hardware and specialized avionics can observe differentiated demand rhythms across short reporting windows.
