About the company
Quality Aviation Instruments Inc., doing business as QAI Aerospace, a woman-owned small business based in White Oak, Pennsylvania, provides specialized repair and maintenance of aviation components for Coast Guard MH-65 short-range recovery helicopters as a prime contractor, operating exclusively on full-and-open competitive delivery orders and purchase orders with no set-aside usage across its recent award footprint.
QAI Aerospace's customer concentration is extreme: the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard accounts for 157 of 240 total prime awards (68% of award count) and $6 million of $6.5 million combined potential value (92% of dollars). The Department of the Navy's Naval Supply Systems Command represents seven awards valued at $128 thousand. This single-customer, single-platform specialization reflects QAI Aerospace's core business—the company holds two active indefinite delivery contracts with the Coast Guard: a five-year, $719,475 IDC (HSCG3811D202035) awarded in June 2021 and running through May 2026, and a successor five-year, $963,630 IDC (70Z03821DB2000009) awarded June 1, 2026, running through May 31, 2031. The predecessor contract generated 86 task orders valued at $1.1 million combined; the successor contract requires FAA Part 145 certification, ISO 9001 and AS9100 quality standards, and provides test, evaluation, and repair of hover landing lights (National Stock Number 6220-01-124-2486) and associated regulating valves, gears, motors, relays, and electrical components. Representative recent work includes a $52,425 delivery order in August 2026 for hover landing light repair (completion November 2026), a $63,055 delivery order in February 2026 for the same scope, and a $48,195 purchase order in April 2025 for repair of five regulating valves for MH-65 aircraft (completion September 2026).
Capability concentration follows customer concentration: NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and 332999 (Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing) anchor the vendor's portfolio. PSC codes 4931 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Aircraft Components and Accessories, 122 awards), 6320 (Electric Vehicular Lights and Fixtures, 42 awards), and 6330 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Lighting Fixtures and Lamps, 32 awards) define the operational scope. Activity has declined: four awards in 2022, seven in 2023, four in 2024, three in 2025, and three in 2026. Only one award completes in the next twenty-four months ($52 thousand potential value), leaving the $963,630 successor IDC as the primary vehicle through 2031. QAI Aerospace does not subcontract; the entire footprint is prime work. The vendor has held awards since 2004, indicating sustained technical capability in MH-65 component repair but limited diversification beyond Coast Guard platforms and lighting or valve assemblies.
