About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard is conducting market research to identify sources capable of supplying 47 distinct ground support tooling items for C-130 aircraft support operations, with responses due by July 9, 2026. This is a sources-sought notice for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligate the Coast Guard to award a contract.
Potential sources must be Lockheed Martin Corporation (CAGE Code 98897) or authorized distributors of Lockheed Martin. The Coast Guard Equipment Support Division is specifically seeking vendors with approval or authorization to supply equipment and tooling for C-130 maintenance and ground support. Items include cargo hoists, landing gear maintenance tools, pneumatic test devices, adapters, and slings. Base quantities range from single units to six units per item, with corresponding option quantities typically doubling those amounts.
Responses must include company name, address, telephone number, and point of contact, along with answers to qualification questions: approved source or authorized distributor status with applicable CAGE Code; business size classification and employee count; NAICS code; small business certifications (small, emergent, or disadvantaged business status); Section 8(a) certification if applicable; and Hub Zone certification status. The commodities are classified under NAICS 33641 (Aerospace Product and Parts Manufacturing) and PSC 1730 (Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment). This market research will inform the Coast Guard's procurement planning and potential future solicitation strategy.
