Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Procurement Division, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Call for Control, Servo, Automatic Pilot units. The intended awardee is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Cage Code 78286), under BOA SPE4A1-22-G-0005. This requirement is unrestricted, as the small business set-aside has been dissolved. Quotations from responsible sources are due by May 12, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.
Scope of Requirement
The USCG intends to procure 4 EA of Control, Servo, Automatic Pilot units, identified by National Stock Number 6615-01-451-8294 and Part Number 70902-22001-046. These items are critical for the USCG's MH-60T aircraft fleet expansion.
Sole Source Rationale
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the sole source due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). They own all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. The item is complex, requiring unique production techniques and extensive testing. The Government does not own the technical data rights, and acquiring them would be uneconomical. This item is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T helicopter, and the acquisition method code (AMC) is 3, indicating direct acquisition from the manufacturer.
