The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is asking for quotes to repair the fixed hoist arm used on MH-65 helicopters. The Coast Guard expects to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a sole source basis to Advantage Aviation Technologies. The closing time was pushed back repeatedly, most recently to November 16, 2026.
Watch out for
- Planned sole source award. The Coast Guard already expects to award to one named company, so a new bidder has a slim chance unless it can show it can do the work.
It is anticipated that a firm-fixed price purchase order shall be awarded on a sole source basis to Advantage aviation Technologies (CAGE Code: 6A6S2)
- Deadline repeatedly extended and dates conflict. The closing date moved six times and the body still lists 02 September 2026, so confirm the real due date with the contracting officer.
The purpose for Amendment 6 is to extend the solicitation closing time to November 16, 2026, at 2:00 pm EST due to sole source quote not being received.
- Requirements are in attachments. The statement of work and terms are only in attached files, so you cannot judge the work from this text.
