About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for procuring a SAR RACK (NSN: 1560-01-HS3-4983), which must be a new manufactured commercial item with direct traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Aerial Machine and Tool Corporation. This sources sought synopsis is designed to gather critical information from potential vendors about their capabilities, business classifications, and product qualifications. The USCG seeks detailed responses addressing specific criteria, including OEM authorization, business size, NAICS codes, business certifications, and government contract experience. Responses must be submitted by May 9, 2025, at 12:00 pm EST to Trenton.C.Twiford@uscg.mil, with the subject line reference number 70Z03825IJ0000046. The agency emphasizes that this is not a formal solicitation and does not guarantee a contract award, but rather serves as a preliminary market research effort.

No specific set-aside designations are currently in place for this procurement, and the USCG is open to responses from various business types, including small businesses, disadvantaged businesses, Hub Zone firms, woman-owned businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed, the agency is seeking detailed information about potential quantity discounts and estimated lead times for the SAR RACK. Vendors are required to provide comprehensive company information, including contact details, employee count, NAICS codes, and evidence of government contract experience. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 1560 for Airframe Structural Components.
