How to bid on aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment for the US Coast Guard
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) intends to purchase aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. These items are specifically for Medium Range Recovery (MRR) aircraft. The USCG is seeking to acquire these parts from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
This opportunity is important for businesses that supply Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation or can provide these specific OEM parts. While the USCG intends a sole-source award, they will consider quotations from all responsible sources. This means there is a chance for other vendors to be considered if they can meet the requirements.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The deadline for submitting quotations is September 21, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT. All submissions must be received by this time.
After the deadline, the agency will review any submitted quotations. The government will then decide whether to proceed with the proposed sole-source procurement or consider other responses. An award will be made based on the determination of fair and reasonable pricing.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is best suited for firms that are authorized distributors or suppliers of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation parts and auxiliary equipment. The USCG has identified Sikorsky as the sole source for these items.
The relevant industry code is NAICS 336413, Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 1560. This requirement is unrestricted, meaning businesses of any size can submit a quotation.
How to respond
To respond, you must submit a quotation via email. Send your quotation to [email protected] and [email protected]. Ensure that the subject line of your email includes "70Z03826QJ0000283".
This is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract, not a request for competitive proposals. However, the agency will consider quotations from all responsible sources received by the deadline. No formal solicitation package will be issued.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even though this is a sole-source notice, providing a well-structured quotation is crucial. Clearly list the items you can supply, matching the specifications in Attachment 1. Detail your pricing and any associated costs.
Emphasize your ability to meet the requested delivery time of 200 days after receipt of order (ARO), and highlight if you can offer early delivery, as the USCG encourages this. Ensure your quotation demonstrates fair and reasonable pricing. Include your CAGE Code and any relevant certifications that validate your capability to supply these specific OEM parts.
