About this opportunity

The US Coast Guard is soliciting repair services for integral fuel tanks on HC-144 aircraft through a combined synopsis/solicitation issued as Request for Quotation 70Z03825QL0000144. The procurement seeks comprehensive fuel tank repair services including in-depth de-seal application of center wings, sealant removal, non-destructive testing, surface preparation, and re-sealing operations. Contractors must be FAA 145 certified and perform at least 50% of the work at their certified facility, unless they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer or Production Approval Holder. The Coast Guard will evaluate proposals using three factors: Technical Acceptability (focusing on sealant removal methodology with confidence ratings), Past Performance (based on fuel tank repair work history), and Price. Quotations are due September 22, 2025, with no separate written solicitation to be issued.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, allowing all responsible sources to compete for the anticipated firm-fixed price purchase order. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or specific award values, though it falls under the small business size standard of $40 million for repair services. The work involves a one-time purchase for HC-144 aircraft fuel tank repairs and requires the contractor to provide all necessary materials, equipment, tooling, and travel expenses. Performance will take place at the contractor's FAA-certified facility, with parts and documentation shipped to the Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The contractor must maintain ISO 9000 compliance and provide a 90-day warranty after government acceptance of the completed work.
