U.S. Government Aerospace Procurement Intelligence

Executive Summary

Weekly PartsBase Government Data shows a surge in publish activity across federal aerospace-related solicitations for 2026-02-16 to 2026-02-22, with total notices rising 49.5% week-over-week to 9,752 and an estimated contract value of $444.66M. The Defense Logistics Agency dominates the dataset, accounting for roughly 98% of published solicitations. Significant week-over-week increases concentrated in FSG 59 and several mechanical and avionics-related FSC groups suggest an intensifying demand signal for maintenance, repair, and overhaul supply lines.

Key Metrics Snapshot

• Reporting window: 2026-02-16 to 2026-02-22

Agency Concentration Analysis

The dataset is heavily concentrated: DLA (Department of Defense) published 9,554 of 9,752 solicitations (approximately 98%). The Navy is a distant second at 160 solicitations (about 1.6%). Other services and civilian agencies collectively account for fewer than 1% of notices. This level of concentration implies that near-term opportunity volume in the aerospace and defense parts space is materially shaped by DLA's procurement cadence and cataloging practices.

Part Demand Signals (NIIN / NSN)

The top-requested NIINs show a blend of medical, mechanical, and electrical items. The highest single-request item is NIIN 015034772 (MOXIFLOXACIN HYDROCHLORIDE TABLE) with 12 requests, followed by heavy mechanical assemblies such as NIIN 013308069 (ENGINE BLOCK ASSEMBLY, DIESEL) with 4 requests. Several mission-support and safety items (chest seal dressings, blood-dilution kits, surgical sponges) appear in the top 15, indicating concurrent demand across frontline medical supply chains and vehicle/airframe sustainment. Request frequency distribution: most top NIINs report 2–4 requests with a single outlier at 12 requests.

FSC / FSG Trend Analysis

FSG-level activity shows notable week-over-week expansion concentrated in:

• FSG 59: 1,415 notices this week, +102.4% (increase of 716)
• FSG 53: 2,153 notices this week, +29.2% (increase of 487)
• FSG 48: 589 notices this week, +174.0% (increase of 374)
• FSG 30: 376 notices this week, +210.7% (increase of 255)
• FSG 29: 301 notices this week, +246.0% (increase of 214)

Declines are concentrated in FSG 65 (-27.5%), FSG 25 (-21.9%), and FSG 58 (-38.8%). The pattern indicates a shift toward higher volumes of spare parts, electrical components, and mechanical systems this week, while some support and facility-related groups moderated.

Interpretive Insights

The dataset indicates concentrated volume driven by DLA catalog activity rather than broad-based increases across all federal buyers, which can compress apparent market opportunity into a narrow set of prime contract actions. The surge in FSG 59 and elevated counts in FSGs associated with mechanical and electrical components are consistent with episodic replenishment or large restocking events within logistics pipelines. Public reporting on defense procurement modernization and budgetary pressures frames these procurement patterns as part of a broader effort to prioritize sustainment and industrial base readiness in early 2026.^[2] Wider industry coverage of Navy and DoD procurement priorities signals persistent demand in shipbuilding and avionics supply chains that aligns with the high-value notices observed in this dataset.^[1] The centralization of contracting data and notices on the federal acquisition portal concentrates amendment and award reporting activity in a single repository, which affects discovery and historical tracking of solicitation lifecycle events.^[3]

Market Takeaway

Aggregate activity for this reporting window is dominated by DLA actions and reflects a short-term reorientation of solicitation volume toward expendable and reparable parts categories used in sustainment operations. The combination of high-frequency small-part requests alongside a small number of very large equipment solicitations suggests parallel operational drivers: routine replenishment and discrete capital-equipment purchases. Week-over-week FSG swings point to episodic inventory management cycles rather than a uniform sector-wide demand acceleration.
