The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Procurement Division, intends to award a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) call to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (OEM) for the purchase of Engine Mod Kits for the MH-60T aircraft. This notice is a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source BOA Call, not a request for competitive proposals. However, other responsible sources may submit a quotation for consideration.

Rationale for Sole Source
The justification for this sole source acquisition is that Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds proprietary rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings for these complex engine modification kits. The items require unique production techniques and testing, and the government does not own the necessary technical data rights. These parts are approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for the MH-60T and have an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, indicating direct acquisition from the manufacturer.
Submission Details
While this is a notice of intent to award sole source, all responsible sources may submit a quotation for agency consideration. Quotations should be sent to Austin.R.Ivins@uscg.mil and mrr-procurement@uscg.mil with "70Z03826QJ0000159" in the subject line. A determination by the Government not to compete the proposed procurement based on responses is solely at their discretion. Award will be based on fair and reasonable pricing. Bidders should note that quotes will be considered F.O.B. Destination unless F.O.B. Origin is clearly marked with included shipping costs.
Additional Notes
Solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000159 is for tracking purposes only; no solicitation package will be issued. The notice also clarifies that certain FAR clauses related to representations and certifications in SAM may not be considered by contracting officers for award decisions, and entities are not required to update their SAM registration to remove these representations.
