Overhaul Anti-Ice Valve

HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF.US COAST GUARD.AVIATION LOGISTICS CENTER (ALC)(00038) · Response deadline: Tue, 03 Nov 2026

What the government is buying

The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is seeking overhaul services for an anti-ice valve. Anti-ice valves are critical components in aircraft systems, typically used to regulate the flow of heated air or fluid to prevent ice formation on engine inlets, wings, or other flight surfaces. Overhaul work in this context generally involves complete disassembly, inspection, repair or replacement of worn parts, reassembly, testing, and return to serviceable condition according to manufacturer or military specifications.

NAICS 336413 designates "Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing," which covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment (except aircraft engines and engine parts). This classification is commonly used for maintenance, repair, and overhaul contracts when the work involves aircraft components rather than complete airframes or engines.

Key facts

Who can bid

This contract has no set-aside designation listed in the metadata, meaning it is open to all responsible bidders—including small businesses, large businesses, and subcontractors of any tier. Small businesses registered under NAICS 336413 should verify their size standard qualification through the SBA's Table of Size Standards.

Given the specialized nature of aircraft valve overhaul, eligible bidders typically include:

• FAA-certified repair stations with appropriate ratings
• Manufacturers or authorized service centers for this valve type
• Defense contractors with existing Coast Guard or military aviation relationships
• Small businesses with AS9100 or equivalent quality certifications

Firms do not need to be small businesses to compete, but should confirm their registration is active in SAM.gov and that any required DUNS/UEI and CAGE code information is current.

How to put together a competitive bid

For aircraft component overhaul solicitations, bidders should focus on technical capability and past performance:

Technical qualifications: Prepare documentation of your repair station certificate, specific ratings for the valve or system type, and any OEM authorizations. Coast Guard aircraft operate in demanding maritime environments; emphasize experience with corrosion resistance, salt spray testing, and operational reliability.

Quality systems: Highlight AS9100, ISO 9001, or military quality program compliance. Include your FAA Form 337 or equivalent airworthiness documentation process if applicable.

Past performance: Reference comparable overhaul contracts, especially for military or federal agency customers. Include CPARS ratings or contractor performance evaluations if available.

Pricing strategy: Overhaul contracts typically involve labor, materials, testing, and potential engineering support. Since no estimated value is provided in the metadata, see the solicitation for pricing structure—whether firm fixed-price, time-and-materials, or cost-reimbursement.

Delivery and logistics: Aviation Logistics Center operations depend on predictable turnaround times. Address production capacity, lead times for replacement parts, and shipping procedures for receiving unserviceable units and returning overhauled components.
