Contract & Timeline
- Type: Sole Source BOA Call (under Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A1-22-G-0005)
- Set-Aside: Unrestricted (small business set-aside dissolved)
- NAICS: 336413 (Aircraft Manufacturing), Size Standard: 1,250 Employees
- PSC: 1560 (Airframe Structural Components) and 6685 (Instruments and Laboratory Equipment)
- Quotation Due: March 4, 2026, by 2:00 P.M. EST
- Published: February 17, 2026
Justification for Sole Source
The USCG justifies the sole source award to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Cage Code 78286), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), because Sikorsky owns all rights to the technical data and specifications. The parts are complex, require unique production techniques, and the government does not own the technical data, making it uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. 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 acquisition directly from the manufacturer.
Submission & Evaluation
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, responsible sources may submit a quotation to Cindy.K.Harmes@uscg.mil and mrr-procurement@uscg.mil with "70Z03826QJ0000060" in the subject line. Submissions must be received no later than the due date. Award will be made upon determination of fair and reasonable pricing. The Government's determination not to compete the procurement based on responses is solely at its discretion.
