Purchase Order 70Z03825PR0000463

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a $90,000 firm fixed-price purchase order to Clayton International, Inc., a veteran-owned small business manufacturer based in Peachtree City, Georgia, for the procurement of beam-axle assemblies (NSN 1620-01-187-8927, Part Number 70250-32105-046) to be utilized on USCG MH-60T helicopters. The contract, awarded on September 15, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2025, was issued without a small business set-aside designation, making it an unrestricted competitive procurement. Clayton International has demonstrated significant expertise in supporting Coast Guard rotary-wing aircraft, holding a substantial $3.2 million indefinite delivery contract with the Coast Guard for manufacturing MH-60T components since March 2022.

The beam-axle assemblies are critical aircraft landing gear components that require full traceability to original equipment manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, with complete documentation and manufacturer certificates of conformance in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation requirements. The solicitation, posted on September 2, 2025, specified that all parts must maintain an auditable paper trail from the original equipment manufacturer to current location to ensure airworthy condition. Clayton International's established track record as a key supplier of specialized aviation equipment and modification kits for Coast Guard helicopter fleets, combined with its history of performing similar depot maintenance and component manufacturing services, positions it as a critical vendor supporting the Coast Guard's maritime security and search-and-rescue mission capabilities.
