Sole Source Justification & Response
The USCG justifies this sole source award to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE: 78286) due to the proprietary nature of the required technical data, which is exclusively held by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The USCG did not purchase rights to this data, making competitive procurement infeasible.
This notice is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources may submit a quotation to Trenton.C.Twiford@uscg.mil (with "70Z03826QJ0000147" in the subject line) by 2:00 P.M. EDT on July 9, 2026.
