The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center wants an overhaul contract for rotary wing and rotary rudder blades for its Sikorsky helicopters. It plans one indefinite-delivery contract with a 1-year base and two 1-year options. The notice says it will be issued on a sole source basis, and Sikorsky is named as the only approved source.
Watch out for
Sole source to Sikorsky. The notice names Sikorsky as the only approved source and says the requirement will be issued sole source, so a small business is unlikely to win. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and the only approved source of supply.
No drawings or specifications. The agency will not supply technical data, so you would need your own access to OEM data. NO DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS OR SCHEMATICS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THIS AGENCY.
Strict airworthiness paperwork. Flight-safety items need traceability and certificates back to the manufacturer, which is hard without OEM ties. a clear, complete, documented, and auditable paper trail
