About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is issuing a sole source procurement for six alternator cooling units (part number 31340-1101, NSN 4730-01-329-0932) specifically designed for HC-144 aircraft. This Special Notice constitutes the complete solicitation and serves as a notice of intent to award to Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc., as the government believes only Airbus possesses the required proprietary technical and engineering data necessary to provide these specialized aircraft components. All items must demonstrate clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer, Kelsey-Hayes Company, Inc., with complete documented paper trails from the OEM. Vendors with competing capabilities are invited to submit comprehensive information demonstrating their qualifications within ten calendar days of the August 20, 2025 posting date, with responses due by August 26, 2025. The evaluation will focus on vendors' expertise and required capabilities to provide these parts, though the government will not extend the notice period or delay award for capability determinations or SAM.gov registration issues.
This procurement operates without any small business set-aside designations, despite the applicable NAICS code 336413 having a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc. (Cage Code 0DAF1) is identified as the intended sole source contractor based on their exclusive access to the necessary technical data and specifications. The solicitation does not specify a contract value, but involves the procurement of exactly six alternator cooling units to support Coast Guard aviation operations. Performance will occur at Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909, and the government anticipates awarding a sole source purchase order pending fund availability. The procurement falls under the specialized category of aircraft parts manufacturing and specifically involves hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings as classified under PSC code 4730.
