Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), through its Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City, NC, has issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for the purchase of Brake Handle Control and Sleeve components for its HC-27J aircraft. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation (70Z03826QW0000052) for commercial items. While all responsible sources may submit a quotation, the agency anticipates a firm-fixed price purchase order will be awarded on a sole source basis to Leonardo SPA. Quotations are due by March 6, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
Scope of Work
The solicitation seeks to procure the following new manufactured items:
- Line Item 1: 2 each of Brake Handle, Control (NSN: 1630-01-HS3-2442, P/N: L50C27-31F, Manufacturer CAGE Code: U1607).
- Line Item 2: 7 each of Sleeve (NSN: 5340-15-186-8058, P/N: NTA13856A8RG115, Manufacturer CAGE Code: A0170).
These parts are intended for placement in the ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future use on USCG HC-27J aircraft.
Key Requirements
- Traceability: All items must have clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), specifically Triumph Controls UK LTD (CAGE U1607) and Leonardo SPA (CAGE A0170). Offerors must provide documentation showing they are an authorized distributor.
- Certification: A Certificate of Conformance (COC) is required in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15.
- Shipping: Only F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B Origin shipping terms will be accepted. Ex Works (EXW) or Incoterms 2020 (e.g., DAP, FCA) are not permitted.
- Technical Data: No drawings, specifications, or schematics are available from the USCG.
Contract Details
- Type: Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order.
- NAICS: 336413 (Aircraft Manufacturing), Small Business Size Standard: 1250 employees.
- Set-Aside: This is a restricted requirement, with an anticipated sole source award to Leonardo SPA. The justification for other than full and open competition cites "Only One Source Reasonably Available" and "Brand Name" due to OEM proprietary data, as Leonardo SPA is the OEM for the C27J aircraft and owns the necessary technical data.

- Deadline: March 6, 2026, at 4:30 p.m. ET.
