The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center wants gearboxes for its helicopters under one indefinite delivery requirements contract with firm-fixed pricing: a one-year base plus two one-year options, three years total. The Coast Guard says Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and only approved source, though other sources may still submit offers. Offers are due November 30, 2026.
Watch out for
Sole source to the OEM. The Coast Guard states Sikorsky is the only approved source, so a non-OEM small business faces a very low chance of winning. Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation is the OEM and the only approved source of supply.
Strict traceability and airworthiness paperwork. A documented paper trail back to the OEM and FAA-approved parts are required, which resellers may be unable to show. Traceability means a clear, complete, documented, and auditable paper trail which traces each step from the OEM to its current location.
No drawings available. Only OEM parts are accepted and no drawings or specifications are provided. NO DRAWINGS, SPECIFICATIONS OR SCHEMATICS ARE AVAILABLE FROM THIS AGENCY.
Many amendments and extended deadline. The notice has been amended six times; use the newest schedule of supplies or the quote may be rejected. Please refer to A00005 - Revised - Attachment 1 - Schedule of Supplies - 70Z03825RJ0000006 when submitting proposal.
