About the company
Airbus Helicopters, Inc., a foreign-owned manufacturer headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, sells MH-65 aircraft spare parts, repair services, and logistics support to the U.S. Coast Guard as the sole-source original equipment manufacturer operating under FAR 25.103(b)(1) nonavailability class determinations. The company is a subsidiary of Airbus US Space & Defense Inc. and competes exclusively as a prime contractor on full-and-open, non-set-aside deliveries and purchase orders issued against Coast Guard indefinite-delivery contracts and master IDIQs.
Airbus Helicopters' federal customer footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated on the U.S. Coast Guard's MH-65 Dolphin helicopter fleet. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 80 percent of recent awards and are led by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard (9,845 awards, $8.03 billion combined potential value), followed distantly by DHS Customs and Border Protection (133 awards, $1.07 billion), DHS Chief Procurement Officer (35 awards, $101.8 million), the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command (15 awards, $169.8 million), and the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (9 awards, $672 thousand). The Coast Guard's dominance persists in the potential-value ranking as well — the service accounts for roughly 34 percent of the vendor's total combined potential value across the entire portfolio. Airbus Helicopters also delivers rotor blade assemblies, servo components, structural and mechanical assemblies, electronic systems, seals, bearings, fasteners, hoses, and complete blade repair services to the Coast Guard under master IDIQs; representative recent delivery orders include a $9.691 million order for main rotor blades (awarded August 21, 2026), a $1.608 billion order for various spares (awarded August 21, 2026), a $1.502 billion order for MH-65E spare parts (awarded August 24, 2026), and a $859.877 million order for MH-65E spares (awarded August 26, 2026).
The vendor holds multiple Coast Guard IDIQs, with the largest being Indefinite Delivery Contract HSCG3807D200001, a single-award vehicle running through December 2030 with $6.35 billion combined potential value and 254 task orders. A second single-award IDIQ (HSCG3808D200001) carries $855.8 million across 182 task orders; a third (HSCG3817D200004) holds $14.1 million across 179 task orders. A fourth contract, Indefinite Delivery Contract 70Z03822DB2000014, has generated 233 task orders worth $14 million. Recent awards show two new single-award IDIQs awarded in 2026 and 2027: one with a $7.821 billion ceiling through December 2030 (awarded September 2, 2026) and another with a $4.297 billion ceiling through December 2031 (awarded January 1, 2027). These parent vehicles anchor the vast majority of Airbus Helicopters' task-order activity and are the primary mechanism by which the Coast Guard procures MH-65 support.
Activity has remained relatively stable in recent years. The vendor recorded 548 awards in 2023, 610 in 2024, 429 in 2025, and 390 in 2026. Within the next twenty-four months, 407 awards carrying combined potential value of $119.8 million will reach ultimate completion and face recompete. The portfolio shows 99 percent prime awards and only 1 percent subcontract awards; all named sub activity is routed through Amentum Services, Inc., which subcontracts to Airbus Helicopters for aircraft maintenance and logistics support services including tail rotor, blade, gearbox, and frequency adapter work. Across SCI-reportable service contracts, Airbus Helicopters invoiced $9.2 million on federal service contracts from FY2022 through FY2025 (including $5 million in FY2022, zero in FY2023, $2.7 million in FY2024, and $1.6 million in FY2025), with roughly 62 FTEs reported in FY2022, 66 FTEs in FY2024, and 59 FTEs in FY2025. Government-paid median hourly rates on SCI contracts ran around $153/hr, with senior labor pricing reaching the 90th percentile at $449.61/hr. The vendor reports minimal subcontractor engagement on prime service contracts, averaging 5 percent sub-hours share.
Airbus Helicopters' NAICS footprint concentrates on Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (10,959 awards) and Aircraft Manufacturing (1,235 awards), with secondary work in other support activities for air transportation, engineering services, and flight training. By PSC code, the portfolio is dominated by airframe structural components (2,338 awards), hardware commercial (1,393 awards), miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components (960 awards), helicopter rotor blades and drive mechanisms (699 awards), and pipe, tube and rigid tubing (488 awards). Every Coast Guard award to the vendor carries a FAR 25.103(b)(1) nonavailability class determination and Buy American Act exception, establishing Airbus Helicopters' sole-source original equipment manufacturer status for MH-65 components with no competitive alternatives available.
