Aerospace Equipment Auctions in Orlando, FL
Orlando's industrial base spans aerospace and defense (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon), simulation and training technology, medical devices, and food processing in the greater Central Florida corridor.
Orlando's aerospace and defense base, anchored by Lockheed Martin and Raytheon operations along with the region's simulation and training technology sector, produces some of the more specialized aerospace equipment KD Auctions handles: 5-axis CNC machining centers, composite layup tables, autoclaves, and precision NDT and inspection equipment used in AS9100-certified production. That equipment reaches auction when a program ends, a Tier 1 or Tier 2 supplier consolidates facilities, or a defense-adjacent contractor closes. Because some of it supports defense contracts, export-controlled items can carry ITAR considerations, and KD Auctions coordinates with the seller and their counsel to identify and properly handle any restricted items before marketing begins. Buyers are almost exclusively other aerospace and defense suppliers or precision shops entering that work, reached through KD Auctions' 500,000+ industry contacts rather than a handful of Central Florida bidders.

Frequently Asked Questions
We're closing an aerospace or defense supplier tied to Orlando's Lockheed Martin or Raytheon supply chain. Does KD Auctions handle ITAR-sensitive equipment?
Some equipment connected to defense contracts can carry ITAR export considerations, and KD Auctions coordinates with the seller and their legal counsel to identify and properly handle any restricted items before an auction goes live. The remaining equipment, including 5-axis machining centers, composite layup and autoclave equipment, and inspection tools, is marketed openly to KD Auctions' national network of 500,000+ industry contacts.
How fast can KD Auctions get onsite for an aerospace facility closure in the Orlando area?
KD Auctions can typically have a team onsite within 48 to 72 hours of engagement to begin assessing and cataloging equipment. From there, a managed auction generally runs 6 to 10 weeks, with commission tailored to the engagement, quoted upfront, and most sellers paying nothing out of pocket.
