About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking to procure ELT Beacon Testers through a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items. Specifically, the solicitation requests 5 first article units and 40 production units of the BT200-2100B ELT Beacon Tester, with WS Technologies Inc. identified as the original equipment manufacturer. The procurement aims to acquire NEW approved items capable of testing Emergency Locator Transmitters across multiple USCG aircraft platforms including HC-130J, HC-27J, HC-144B, MH-60T, and MH-65E. Evaluation criteria will include the ability to provide a Certificate of Conformance, manufacturer traceability, and compliance with specified technical requirements. The solicitation closes on 28 April 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, with an anticipated award date of 1 May 2025, and quotations are to be submitted via email to Samuel.J.Ownley2@uscg.mil.
This solicitation is a 100% small business set-aside with a size standard of 1,350 employees under NAICS code 334511. The procurement will follow a two-phase approach, beginning with a first article testing phase where 5 units will be delivered and evaluated for form, fit, and function before proceeding to the full production buy of 40 units. The first article units must be delivered within 30 days after order receipt, with an additional 30 days allowed for government testing. The total procurement is for the NSN 5820-01-HS3-7557, with a firm-fixed price purchase order anticipated. No drawings, specifications, or schematics will be provided by the USCG, and offerors must demonstrate capability to meet the detailed technical requirements outlined in the solicitation's attachments. The testing plan involves verifying the beacon tester's ability to receive signals, decode hex IDs, and retrieve position coordinates across multiple USCG aircraft platforms.
