Quick Summary
The US Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price delivery order to Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems Corporation (Cage: 0B9R9) for 300 Phenolic Insulators (P/N: 5000549-1, NSN: 1630-01-HS1-2528) for MH65 helicopters. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ 70Z03826QB0000048), but the procurement is restricted due to the unique nature of the parts and OEM traceability requirements. While a sole-source award is anticipated, other responsible sources with the expertise and capabilities to provide genuine OEM parts are invited to submit offers. Quotes are due February 13, 2026, at 9:00 am EST.

Parts must be genuine OEM from Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems, with full traceability to the OEM or an OEM-approved source, and FAA approval to ensure aircrew safety. No substitute or alternate parts will be considered; only new parts will be accepted. A Certificate of Conformance (COC) is required, and a quality control manual must be available.
