How to bid on various aircraft parts for the US Coast Guard
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center is looking to purchase various aircraft parts. The agency has identified Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as the original equipment manufacturer and intends to award a contract to them.
However, the Coast Guard is open to considering quotes from other responsible sources. This presents an opportunity for vendors who can supply the specified aircraft parts to be considered for this requirement, even though it is initially set as a sole-source intent.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
The notice was published on July 14, 2026. The deadline for submitting a quotation is August 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. All quotes must be received by this time for consideration.
After the deadline, the government will review any submitted quotations. A determination by the government not to compete the proposed procurement, based on the responses, is at their discretion. The award will be made upon determining fair and and reasonable pricing.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for companies that can supply aircraft parts, particularly those related to Sikorsky aircraft. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement is 336413, which covers aircraft manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 1560, indicating aircraft components and accessories.
While the initial intent is sole-source, firms capable of providing these specific aircraft parts should consider submitting a quote. The requirement is unrestricted, meaning there is no small business set-aside.
How to respond to this notice
To respond, you must submit a quotation via email. Send your quotation to [email protected] and [email protected]. It is crucial to include the solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000283 in the subject line of your email.
No formal solicitation package will be issued, as this is a notice of intent rather than a request for competitive proposals. Your quotation should clearly outline your ability to provide the items listed in Attachment 1, which you can access by viewing the original source document.
Tips for preparing a competitive response
Even for a sole-source intent, a well-prepared quotation can make a difference. Ensure your quote clearly addresses your capability to supply the specific aircraft parts listed in Attachment 1. Highlight your experience and capacity to meet the delivery requirement of 200 days after receipt of order, noting that early deliveries are encouraged.
Focus on demonstrating fair and reasonable pricing. While the government will make the final determination, providing a clear breakdown or justification for your pricing can strengthen your submission. Remember to check Attachment 1 for the exact list of items required and Attachment 2 for the redacted justification and approval document, which may offer further context.
