About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking repair services for an HC-144 aircraft engine inlet frame through a sole source procurement. The repair involves cold spray dimensional restoration of a CT7-9C Engine Front Inlet (Part Number 6053T68G07) that has suffered corrosion damage, with the primary objective of evaluating cold spray as a corrosion repair technique. All repair work must be performed in accordance with Original Equipment Manufacturer specifications from General Electric Company, including the latest revisions and service bulletins. Vendors must be FAA 145 certified and perform at least 50% of the work at their FAA certified facility, unless they are the OEM or a Production Approval Holder. The solicitation requires completion of repairs within 60 days of receiving the component, with comprehensive documentation including NDI deposition reports, CS Control Sheets, and FAA 8130-3 documentation. The response deadline is July 23, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST.
This procurement is designated as unrestricted with no set-aside provisions and is structured as a sole source award to MID-AMERICA AEROTECH, LLC, located in West Fargo, North Dakota. The government justifies this sole source approach based on the company's exclusive access to required proprietary technical and engineering data necessary for the specialized repair work. The estimated contract value is $28,000 for the repair of a single inlet frame unit with serial number SPK93VG4. The Coast Guard currently maintains only two engine front inlet frames as spare parts annually, making this component critical for aircraft maintenance operations. Performance will take place at the contractor's FAA certified facility, with delivery terms limited to F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B. Origin only. The small business size standard for this repair work is set at $40 million or 1,250 employees for repairs and overhauls.
