MRR Procurement

MRR Procurement serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) of the U.S. Coast Guard, supporting the sustainment and modernization of mission-critical aviation systems. Responsible for executing acquisition actions under the agency’s logistics and maintenance lifecycle, MRR facilitates the procurement of specialized avionics, aircraft components, and technical support services essential to maintaining the operational readiness of rotary- and fixed-wing platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Their role centers on ensuring timely delivery of parts and systems that align with the ALC’s strategic goal of extending service life and enhancing reliability across legacy fleets, working closely with program managers and logistics engineers to align contracting actions with technical requirements. MRR maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, among others, to source high-integrity aviation components and sustainment services. These partnerships reflect a focus on established defense and aerospace suppliers with proven capabilities in avionics integration, maintenance support, and parts manufacturing. The procurement pattern emphasizes long-term vendor reliability and technical compliance over competitive bidding, particularly for critical legacy system support where certification and heritage supply chains are essential. Set-aside preferences are heavily weighted toward open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 19.2% are awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides (FAR 19.5), with minimal use of Women-Owned Small Business or other specialized programs, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and supply chain continuity over socioeconomic preferences. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting a deep specialization in procuring non-engine aircraft components such as avionics housings, structural fittings, and mission system peripherals. Additional activity in NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) underscores involvement in maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services. Technical expertise centers on aviation sustainment, parts obsolescence management, and certification-compliant procurement for FAA- and military-qualified components.
