Quick Summary

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking quotations for the repair of Inertial EMB, GPS units (also referred to as Engine Guidance Indicators or EGIs) for its HC-130J aircraft. While advertised as an unrestricted requirement, the agency anticipates a sole-source award to Honeywell International or an approved repair facility due to proprietary data and unique capabilities, as detailed in the Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition. The goal is to maintain an inventory of "Ready for Issue" (RFI) components. Quotations are due May 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST.

Scope of Work

This opportunity covers the repair of specific Inertial EMB, GPS units (NSN: 1680-01-HS3-0057, P/N: 34209700-WN7B-001) to an "airworthy" and "Ready for Issue" condition. The contractor will provide all parts, labor, and materials at a firm-fixed price, adhering to applicable technical directives and standards. The initial requirement is for four (4) units, with an option for the USCG to increase the quantity by an additional four (4) units (totaling eight) within 365 days of award, at the same unit price, per FAR 52.217-6. Services for Beyond Economical Repair (BER) or No Fault Found units are also included. No drawings, specifications, or schematics are available from the agency.
