Quality Plating Co

Quality Plating Co, a for-profit Subchapter S Corporation based in Salt Lake City, Utah, manufactures specialized metal plating and heat-treating services for U.S. Air Force aircraft and weapons systems maintenance as a prime contractor on full-and-open awards and blanket purchase agreements with no set-aside designation. The company competes in the commercial industrial base, not in SBA reserve categories.

Quality Plating Co's federal footprint is almost entirely concentrated within a single customer and single contracting unit. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Ogden Air Logistics Complex accounts for 23 awards carrying $200.4 million in combined potential value — representing 99% of the company's total federal dollar exposure. The remainder of the vendor's federal work flows through the broader Air Force Materiel Command (101 awards, $1.4 million combined potential value), the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service (2 awards, $334 thousand), the Air Force Sustainment Center (21 awards, $35 thousand), and the Army Materiel Command Joint Munitions Command (5 awards, $8 thousand). The top-customer ranking by award count masks the extreme dollar concentration: Ogden Air Logistics Complex holds 23 awards but 99% of the potential value; the 101 broader AMC awards pool nearly $1.4 million.

Quality Plating Co's capability portfolio centers on cadmium brush plating, silver stripping, silver plating, black oxide coating, and heat treating for aircraft components and accessories supporting B-52 bombers, C-5 transport aircraft, Minuteman III missile systems, and related platforms. Recent awards include a five-year $350 thousand cadmium brush plating BPA (awarded June 2025, completion June 2030), a five-year $240 thousand silver stripping and silver plating BPA for the Hill Air Force Base Landing Gear Squadron (awarded January 2025, completion January 2030), and a five-year $500 thousand black oxide coating BPA for C-5 aircraft gearboxes supporting the 309th Commodities Maintenance Group (awarded June 2023, completion June 2028). The company also executes individual delivery orders under these BPAs; recent examples include a $27,327 BPA call for aircraft component maintenance and repair (October 2025, completion September 2026) and a $14,049 BPA call for similar work (December 2024, completion September 2025).

The company's contract vehicle footprint is dominated by five indefinite delivery vehicles under Air Force Materiel Command. Indefinite Delivery Contract FA822410D0008 anchors 52 task orders with $225 thousand combined potential value; FA820105D0011 carries 40 task orders and $138 thousand; FA822416D0002 holds 25 task orders and $215 thousand; FA822419D0004 includes 6 task orders and $18 thousand; and Blanket Purchase Agreement FA822721A0001 supports 5 task orders and $160 thousand. Only one award faces recompete in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $27 thousand), leaving the company's contract base largely stable through the recompete window.

Quality Plating Co subcontracts minimally — one recent sub-award under prime Kihomac Inc. (April 2025) for coating work on MH-60S EGMS kits. Award volume has been sparse and irregular over the past five years (four awards in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2023, two in 2024, four in 2025), reflecting the episodic nature of depot-level maintenance tasking. The company's NAICS footprint aligns tightly with its work: 112 awards under Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring; 41 under All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing; and one each under Aircraft Manufacturing and machinery repair.

We are an electroplating job shop with a wide range of processes including anodizing(chromic, hard & sulfuric), phosphating(zinc and manganese), black oxide (steel and 300 SS), hard chrome plating, cadmium plating, electroless nickel plating, zinc plating
