About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The United States Coast Guard is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential suppliers capable of providing factory new aircraft fuel tank parts for HC-130J aircraft. This is not a formal solicitation or request for proposals, but rather an informational notice designed to assess the marketplace and gather information about available sources prior to any actual procurement. Interested firms must submit responses by April 7, 2026, that include company name, address, telephone number, CAGE code, and a designated point of contact. Suppliers should address specific questions regarding quantity discounts, estimated lead times, acceptable payment terms, business size and employee count, relevant NAICS codes, and any small business certifications or disadvantaged business status. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 1560 (Airframe Structural Components), with no specific evaluation criteria mentioned at this pre-solicitation stage since no formal evaluation will occur.

The notice specifies six distinct part numbers with National Stock Numbers (NSNs) ranging from 1560-00-442-4755 to 1560-00-670-2059, with each part required in a quantity of six units. No set-asides have been designated for this procurement, meaning all businesses regardless of size classification are eligible to respond. The notice does not disclose an anticipated award value, budget range, or timeline for actual contract execution, as this is purely exploratory market research conducted by the federal agency. Interested vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to supply these specialized aircraft components and provide detailed information about their business operations, including employee headcount and any relevant certifications under the Small Business Act or Section 8(a) programs. The responses submitted in reaction to this Sources Sought Notice will not obligate the government to issue a contract award or proceed to a formal solicitation.
