COASTAL AEROSPACE, INC.

Coastal Aerospace, Inc. specializes in the overhaul and maintenance of critical aircraft auxiliary systems, with demonstrated expertise in engine starter systems for military and coast guard aviation platforms. Their technical focus centers on precision mechanical restoration, avionics integration, and compliance with military airworthiness standards for legacy and modern aircraft such as the HC-130J. The company’s capability extends to component-level diagnostics, torque-sensitive assembly, and performance validation under operational environmental conditions, ensuring mission-critical reliability for high-stakes aerospace missions. Their specialization in engine starter refurbishment reflects deep familiarity with turbine-driven propulsion systems and the rigorous quality control protocols required for Department of Defense and Coast Guard applications. The contractor has delivered services directly to the Department of Homeland Security, specifically supporting U.S. Coast Guard aviation assets. This engagement underscores a focused relationship centered on sustaining airborne surveillance and rescue platforms through targeted component refurbishment rather than broad system integration. The work performed aligns with DHS’s mission to maintain operational readiness of maritime patrol and long-range reconnaissance aircraft. Coastal Aerospace operates primarily within NAICS 336413, which encompasses the manufacturing and overhaul of non-airframe aircraft components such as starters, actuators, and auxiliary power units. Their market positioning is niche but critical—serving as a trusted provider of high-integrity, low-volume aerospace subsystems that require specialized tooling, certified repair procedures, and strict traceability of materials and processes. As a small business structured as a 2L entity, Coastal Aerospace operates from its facility in Melfa, Virginia, leveraging regional access to defense aerospace supply chains. While currently holding no formal government certifications, its direct delivery of mission-essential repairs to federal aviation users positions it as a capable, specialized vendor within the defense aerospace sustainment ecosystem.
