This firm fixed price purchase order was awarded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard to Leonardo SPA, an aircraft manufacturer and maintenance provider based in Italy. The $127,627.54 contract is for the repair of aircraft components, as no domestic vendor had the required repair capability. The contract does not include any set-aside designation.
Leonardo SPA has served as both a prime contractor and subcontractor for the U.S. government, providing spare parts, components, and maintenance services to support the Coast Guard's fleet of C-27J and HC-27J fixed-wing aircraft used for search and rescue, maritime security, and migrant interdiction operations. The company also holds three identified indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicles with the Coast Guard and U.S. Special Operations Command, collectively valued at over $120 million, to furnish additional maintenance, logistics, repair services, and avionics upgrades for these aircraft platforms.
