Aerospace Quality Research And Development 145, LLC

Aerospace Quality Research And Development 145, LLC, doing business as Aqrd-145, is a minority-owned, small disadvantaged aerospace repair firm that delivers composite structure maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services exclusively to the U.S. Coast Guard as a prime contractor operating under total small business set-asides. The company is a for-profit manufacturer and FAA Part 145-certified repair station based in Addison, Texas, with a narrowly concentrated customer footprint — all 58 recent awards fund Coast Guard programs across a combined potential value of $7.4 million.

Aqrd-145's capability portfolio is tightly specialized: composite panel and structural repair, radome and fairing restoration, and aircraft component overhaul for the Coast Guard's HC-144, HC-27J, MH-60T, and C-27J aircraft platforms. Work is performed exclusively at the company's Addison facility and consists of firm-fixed-price delivery orders under two standing indefinite delivery contracts. The larger single-award IDC, valued at $3,864,083.89 with an ultimate completion date of December 6, 2026, covers multi-aircraft composite repair across the HC-144 and other platforms and has generated approximately twenty delivery orders totaling around $1.4 million to date, with individual orders ranging from $1,856.58 to $104,522.70. The second single-award IDC, valued at $713,000 with completion through November 22, 2026, is specifically dedicated to HC-27J composite panel and structural repairs and has supported task orders from $2,650 to $39,100. Representative recent delivery orders include $111,567.91 (September 2026, HC-144 spares repair, Total Small Business set-aside), $87,855.81 (December 2025, HC-144 spare component repairs, no set-aside), and $100,249.50 (June 2024, HC-144 spares, no set-aside). The vendor also holds purchase orders for new-manufacture work, such as a $21,980.00 January 2026 order to fabricate floor panel units for the HC-144 and a $12,450.00 March 2025 order for floor panel repair and non-recurring engineering.

Customer concentration is absolute. The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard accounts for all 58 awards and the full combined potential value of $7.4 million. The top two parent indefinite delivery vehicles — IDC 70Z03822DL0000001 and IDC 70Z03822DW0000002 — carry 34 of the 58 delivery orders. Activity has declined year over year, from 11 awards in 2022 to 5 in 2026 (annualized), though the two core IDC vehicles expire in late 2026, creating a significant recompete cliff. Only one award (combined potential value $112 thousand) has an ultimate completion date within the next twenty-four months; the broader exposure to recompete lies with the expiration of both standing indefinite delivery vehicles themselves by late 2026, which collectively represent the entire contract footprint.

Aqrd-145 operates as a pure prime contractor with no subcontract activity. Its entire portfolio sits under Coast Guard total small business set-aside IDVs or firm-fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders under those IDVs, with only one recent award (January 2026 floor panel manufacture) awarded without a set-aside designation. The vendor's classification density under NAICS 56119 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and PSC 1680 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Aircraft Components and Accessories) reflects the narrow scope: 55 awards fall under the air-transportation-support NAICS, with 40 orders classified under the aircraft-component maintenance/repair PSC. Revenue realization stands at $2.8 million obligated against $7.4 million potential value (38% obligation rate), a reflection of task-order-driven spending under two indefinite delivery vehicles anchored by a single customer.
