Forensic summary

AEROVIRONMENT, INC is a company based in Simi Valley, California, and is listed with the stock ticker AVAV. In our records, the company has 26 contracts with the U.S. federal government, totaling approximately $657.9 million in obligated funds. The majority of these contracts, both in number and value, are with the Department of Defense, which accounts for 24 awards totaling $656.8 million. Other agencies include the Department of Transportation and the Department of Justice, with smaller amounts awarded. The company operates primarily in the Aircraft Manufacturing industry, with additional activity in the Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical Systems and Instruments Manufacturing sector, as well as in research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences.

The company has a risk score of 15 out of 100, categorized as Medium. This score is influenced by two indicators: 10 points for a significant share of obligations being awarded without full and open competition (50% of contracts), and 5 points for revenue being concentrated in a single agency, the Department of Defense, which accounts for 100% of the company's federal contract value in our records. These indicators suggest potential areas for further review but do not indicate any proven wrongdoing.
