Purchase of Profile; Angle; Plate

The Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard seeks to procure three replacement aircraft parts—Profile, Angle, and Plate—for HC-144 aircraft, with quotations due August 13. The procurement is anticipated as a sole source award to Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc., though the solicitation is open to all responsible sources.

Place of performance is the USCG Aviation Logistics Center, Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The required parts are Profile (Part Number 35-23118-0502, NSN 1680-01-HS3-8181, Quantity 4 each), Angle (Part Number 35-23133-0902, NSN 1560-01-HS3-8182, Quantity 4 each), and Plate (Part Number 95-22140-0101, NSN 1680-01-HS3-8183, Quantity 16 each). Delivery must occur within forty-five days after receipt of order; early and partial deliveries are acceptable. The NAICS code is 336413, Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 1250 employees.

The justification for sole source reflects market research finding that Airbus Defence and Space SAU is the original equipment manufacturer and only known source meeting three critical criteria: legal possession of necessary service data, true capability, and ability to meet required turnaround time. Offerors must maintain firm pricing for sixty calendar days from the specified receipt date, submit a Certificate of Conformance per FAR 52.246-15, provide pricing including volume discounts, and indicate delivery lead times. All deliverables are F.O.B. Destination with packaging restrictions prohibiting popcorn, shredded paper, Styrofoam, or peanut materials. Awards will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror.
