This document is a special notice of intent to award a sole source contract for the purchase of aircraft spare parts to support the HC-27J Aircraft. The Coast Guard intends to award a purchase order to the original equipment manufacturer, G.E. Aviation, for various spare parts including bushings, liners, bolts, seals, brushes, and gaskets. The total estimated quantity of parts is approximately 1,000. The notice provides the part numbers, national stock numbers, descriptions and quantities for each required item. Interested vendors have 10 days from the posting date of January 22, 2024 to submit information demonstrating their capability to provide the parts. The point of contact is Stephanie O. Reams and the closing date for the notice of intent is February 1, 2024 at 4:00 pm Eastern Time.

The document also provides information on filing agency protests with the Coast Guard Ombudsman Program. It describes both informal resolution with the Ombudsman and formal agency protests that can be filed with either the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman. Award or performance will be suspended during a formal protest except under certain justified circumstances. The goal is to resolve protests within 35 days, and they must include specified information and be timely filed per FAR guidelines. Election of this forum precludes subsequent filing of a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external body.
