About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center is seeking to procure MH-65 helicopter spare parts through a sole-source solicitation to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. Specifically, the contract involves obtaining three Cross Beam W/40MM parts (NSN: 1560-01-HS1-6052, P/N: 365A38-3023-25) with an option to increase the quantity by up to 10 additional units. The procurement emphasizes strict requirements for part traceability, mandating that all components must have clear documentation linking them directly to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Helicopters France. Only new, commercially manufactured parts will be accepted, and they must comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines and include a Certificate of Conformance. The solicitation (RFQ 70Z03825QB0000034) will close on January 20, 2025, at 11:00 am EST, with quotes to be submitted via email to Raymond.V.Marler@uscg.mil.
The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and is open to all responsible sources, though the small business size standard is established at 1,250 employees. The place of performance is Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where the USCG Aviation Logistics Center is located. While a specific award value is not disclosed, the base quantity is three units with an optional increase to thirteen total units. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order, with delivery required by December 4, 2025. The solicitation emphasizes that the best value to the government will be pursued without compromising quality or flight safety, and only airworthy commercial or military specification parts will be approved. Notably, the government believes Airbus Helicopters, Inc. is the only known source capable of providing the required parts with appropriate traceability and OEM certification.
