Scope of Work
The requirement is for the procurement of specific Bracket Assemblies, identified by National Stock Number 1560-01-HS2-4946 and Part Number 70500-22107-058. These components are intended for replacement during routine maintenance of the MH-60T aircraft due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. Delivery is requested within 200 days After Receipt of Order (ARO), with early shipments encouraged at no additional cost to the Government. The F.O.B. point is Origin, and inspection and acceptance will be performed at origin by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).
Sole Source Justification
The USCG intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source, Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This decision is based on the determination that the items are available from only one source, as detailed in the Redacted Justification and Approval (Attachment 2). Sikorsky owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings for this complex item, which requires unique production techniques and testing. The Government does not own these rights, making it uneconomical to purchase elsewhere.
Response Information
This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration by the agency. Submissions must be sent via email to Riley.A.Ayers@uscg.mil and mrr-procurement@uscg.mil, with the solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000134 in the subject line.
