The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is requesting quotes for pilot seats and plans to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole-source basis to BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P. Other companies are invited to submit offers if they can prove they have the expertise and OEM traceability, but only new, genuine parts are accepted. The closing date was extended by amendment to November 1, 2026.
Watch out for
- Sole-source award anticipated. The agency expects to buy from the OEM, so a small business that is not an authorized source has a slim chance unless it can show OEM traceability.
BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P. is the only known source to provide traceability and genuine OEM parts.
- No substitutes and no drawings. Only new OEM-traceable parts are accepted and the agency gives no drawings or specifications, so you cannot offer an alternate design.
NO SUBSTITUTE OR ALTERNATE PARTS WILL BE CONSIDERED. ONLY NEW PARTS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
- Conflicting closing dates in the notice. The amendment text says November 1, 2026, but the body still says 21 August 2026, so confirm the deadline with the contracting officer.
The purpose of Amendment 2 is to extend the closing date and time to November 01, 2026, at 10:00 am EDT.
