Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing

Under NAICS code 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), federal solicitations and awards focus on critical components for military and civilian aviation platforms. These components include engine parts such as turbine blades, compressor vanes, fuel control systems, ignition components, valve assemblies, cable harnesses, sensors, and specialized housings essential for maintaining aircraft engine functionality and operational readiness. The manufacturing scope involves precise engineering, strict quality control, and compliance with complex military specifications.

The federal contract awards demonstrate a robust procurement landscape, with contracts ranging from $10,000 to over $11 million. Frequently awarded entities include major aerospace manufacturers like General Electric, Boeing, Rolls-Royce, Honeywell International, and Kidde Technologies. Most awards are issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Navy Supply Systems Command, predominantly targeting military aircraft engine maintenance and replacement parts. These contracts are typically firm-fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders, with performance periods ranging from several months to three years. While most awards are not set aside, some opportunities are designated for small businesses, particularly total small business set-asides.

Recent federal contract opportunities under this NAICS code involve highly specialized aircraft engine components for various military platforms including F-100, F-110, C-130J, and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. These opportunities request components such as fuel control modules, flame holders, valve assemblies, generator housings, and precision-engineered sensor and detection equipment. Most solicitations are issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command, with delivery destinations primarily at military distribution centers in Oklahoma, California, and North Carolina. The opportunities emphasize technical precision, with many requiring source-controlled drawings and approval from original equipment manufacturers.
