Aircraft Wheel And Brake Systems

Product Service Code (PSC) 1630 covers Aircraft Wheel and Brake Systems, encompassing critical components and assemblies used in military and civilian aviation. These systems include various parts such as wheel assemblies, brake discs, hydraulic pistons, valve assemblies, and related mechanical components essential for aircraft landing gear and braking mechanisms. The components are precision-engineered, often requiring specialized manufacturing capabilities and strict quality control processes.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC 1630 predominantly feature procurement of wheel and brake system components for military aircraft platforms, with contracts typically ranging from $4,000 to nearly $1.3 million. Frequent awardees include Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation, Collins Aerospace, Goodrich Corporation, and Nasco Aircraft Brake, Inc. Most awards are issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation and Naval Supply Systems Command, with contracts generally being firm-fixed price and not set aside for specific business categories. Delivery orders frequently support aircraft such as the C-130, F-16, MH-60, MH-65, and various Coast Guard maritime patrol aircraft, with performance locations primarily within the United States.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities under PSC 1630 focus on acquiring specialized brake and wheel components for military aircraft, particularly for platforms like the F-16, B-1, A-10, T-38, and MH-65 helicopters. Solicitations are predominantly issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and the Department of the Navy, seeking components such as brake cylinder housings, disc brake stators, rotor assemblies, and hydraulic cylinders. Most opportunities are unrestricted procurements with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, emphasizing technical capabilities, traceability to original equipment manufacturers, and strict quality assurance requirements. The opportunities consistently require newly manufactured parts with complete certification documentation and often involve complex technical specifications for aerospace applications.
