About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is procuring 10 aircraft fittings (NSN 4030-01-HS2-2783, Part Number 366A25-1350-27) for MH-65 helicopters through solicitation 70Z03825QB0000140. This sole source procurement requires all parts to have clear, documented traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (Cage Code: 3GSZ1), and must comply with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines to ensure aircrew safety. The solicitation emphasizes that parts procured from any source other than the OEM or authorized distributor could compromise aircraft safety, making complete traceability and Certificate of Conformance essential requirements. Evaluation will be based on the lowest priced offeror rated technically acceptable, with technical acceptability determined by the ability to provide parts meeting original specifications and strict quality assurance requirements. The solicitation was posted on August 21, 2025, with Amendment 01 changing the response deadline to August 25, 2025, at 8:30 AM EDT, and indicating that the sole source quote has already been received.
This procurement has no set-aside designation and is anticipated to be awarded as a firm-fixed price purchase order to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. on a sole source basis, based on the government's belief that Airbus is the only known source capable of providing genuine OEM parts with required traceability. The contract falls under NAICS code 336413 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, though the specific contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation. The required delivery date is November 19, 2025, and items must be delivered to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. While alternate part numbers will be accepted, all parts must maintain the complete documented paper trail from an OEM-approved source and meet the stringent safety and quality requirements for aircraft components. The procurement emphasizes that best value to the government is the goal, but not at the expense of quality or flight safety.
