Aviation Component Engineering LLC

Aviation Component Engineering LLC, a Monroe, Wisconsin-based limited liability company, provides MH-65 helicopter component repair and overhaul services to the U.S. Coast Guard as a full-and-open prime contractor with no set-aside designation. The vendor operates exclusively under the Coast Guard's direct purchase-order model, holding all six recent awards — three in 2025 and three in 2026 — as prime contracts totaling $355 thousand in combined potential value and $339 thousand obligated.

The vendor's capability portfolio centers on aircraft component maintenance and repair. Work spans hover landing light repair and test-and-evaluation (five awards covering 17, 15, and 6 units across three separate procurements), MH-65 fan overhaul and repair (MAXIAX57520 series, two awards covering six units with an option to repair up to fourteen additional units), and associated airworthiness certification and quality compliance. All work is performed at the contractor's Monroe, Wisconsin facility, with repaired components delivered FOB Destination to the Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The contractor qualifies through FAA Part 145 or EASA Part 145 certification, ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality system certification, and OEM authorization or USCG Short Range Recovery Engineering approval. Representative awards include a $110 thousand firm-fixed-price purchase order issued May 9, 2025, for hover landing light repair with an option to repair up to seventeen additional units; an $88.5 thousand order from March 17, 2026, for repair of seventeen hover landing lights; a $82.5 thousand order from September 3, 2026, for repair of fifteen hover landing light units; and a $36 thousand order from June 1, 2026, for repair of six fan components with an exercisable option for fourteen additional units.

Customer concentration is singular — the Department of Homeland Security U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 100% of awards and 100% of combined potential value. All six purchase orders stem from direct Coast Guard aviation logistics procurement with firm fixed-price structures and Service Contract Labor Standards compliance. Only one award (the June 2026 fan repair order, $36 thousand) carries a completion date within the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. The vendor does not appear on any government-wide acquisition contracts, blanket purchase agreements, or multi-award IDIQs in the source data and maintains no visible subcontractor footprint.
