About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is conducting a sources sought synopsis to identify potential suppliers for HC-144 aircraft main landing gear (MLG) and nose landing gear (NLG) tires, specifically the DR8630T and DR10627T tire models. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to gather market intelligence about companies capable of providing these specialized aircraft components. The USCG is seeking comprehensive information from potential vendors, including detailed capability statements, company qualifications, and responses to 13 specific questions about business characteristics, product specifications, and manufacturing capabilities. Interested firms are required to submit their responses electronically by May 5, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. EST, with technical inquiries directed to Joshua Eure and contractual questions to Steven Goodwin. The agency emphasizes that this sources sought notice is not a formal solicitation and does not guarantee a contract award.

No specific set-aside designations have been established for this procurement, meaning all businesses can potentially compete. The notice encourages responses from businesses of all sizes, with particular interest in understanding vendors' qualifications, including small business status, disadvantaged business certifications, hub zone eligibility, and woman or veteran-owned business designations. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the procurement involves specialized aircraft tires for the Coast Guard's HC-144 fleet. Firms are asked to provide estimated lead times for product development and indicate their relevant NAICS code (336413 - Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). The USCG will use the responses to determine potential sources and assess market capabilities before potentially publishing a formal solicitation on SAM.GOV. Importantly, responses to this sources sought synopsis do not guarantee inclusion in a prospective offers list or automatic receipt of the future solicitation.
