About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting quotations for repair and evaluation services for five Searchlight Control units (NSN: 6220-01-HS2-7070, Part Number: 45-0441-4-2) utilized on H-60 aircraft through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 70Z03826QJ0000063, a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items issued under FAR subpart 12.201. All repairs must be performed by Grimes Aerospace Company (Cage Code 72914), the Original Equipment Manufacturer, or an OEM-authorized repair facility. Key contract requirements include firm-fixed pricing for three service categories—teardown and test/evaluation, repair services, and beyond economic repair/scrap disposal—with all offerors required to provide Certificates of Conformance demonstrating traceability to the manufacturer in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. Evaluation will be based on fair and reasonable pricing, which the government has determined through multiple price comparison methodologies including market research and comparison with previous purchases. The solicitation deadline is March 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, with the response date having been extended multiple times from the original February 4, 2026, posting.
This is an unrestricted procurement with no small business set-aside, and award is anticipated on a sole source basis to Grimes Aerospace Company due to its exclusive ownership of technical data and intellectual property. The estimated contract value is not specified in the solicitation, though the pricing schedule requests quotations for one teardown/test unit, five repair units, and one beyond-economic-repair unit. Performance timelines require 15 calendar days for test and evaluation and 30 days for repair work following component receipt. All work must comply with OEM functional performance specifications and component maintenance manuals, and the contractor must maintain ISO 9001-2000 Quality Management System certification. Components will be furnished by the Coast Guard to the contractor's facility or a USCG-approved location, with delivery specified F.O.B. Destination to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where inspection and acceptance will be performed by local USCG personnel.
