Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 20, 2026.
- Serious: Looking for OEM-certified repair sources. The Coast Guard asks about OEM or OEM service center certification, FAA or equivalent certifications and access to OEM replacement parts; a shop without these may not be considered capable.
- Worth checking: Small business must do at least half the work in-house. Small businesses are asked if they can meet the rule that at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance for personnel goes to their own employees.
- Minor: Responding does not register you for the solicitation. If a solicitation follows, you must answer it separately; this response is not a request to get a copy.
