About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is procuring Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE) for rotary wing aircraft through solicitation number 70Z03825QE0000082, specifically seeking 17 line items of MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) system components and marine safety equipment. This is a brand-name requirement limited to products manufactured by Lifesaving Systems LLC (CAGE Code 64249), including Triton II MOLLE Systems, specialized pockets for various equipment, flotation devices, patient restraints, and related accessories. All items must be new, approved parts with clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, and contractors must provide a Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contract will be awarded to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror representing the best value to the government, with technical acceptability based on the contractor's ability to provide new manufactured items from the specified OEM. The solicitation deadline is September 11, 2025, with delivery required within 45 days after receipt of order.
This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designations and operates under NAICS code 315990 with a small business size standard of 600 employees. The quantities for each line item range from 10 to 21 units, with the procurement justified under FAR 6.302-1(c) for other than full and open competition due to the brand-specific nature of the required equipment. No specific contract value is disclosed in the available documentation, though the government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order. The place of performance is the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where all items must be delivered. Amendment 1 to the solicitation removed one line item (LPU-26A Bladder/Inflator) from the original 18-item requirement, reducing the total procurement to 17 specific equipment items essential for Coast Guard rescue operations.
