About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) to explore leasing and maintaining helicopters for multiple mission profiles, including Aerial Intercept, Airborne Use of Force, and Search and Rescue operations. The agency seeks contractor-owned, contractor-maintained aircraft to replace the current MH-65 platform, with specific technical requirements such as FAA certification, night vision compatibility, and advanced navigation systems. Vendors are required to submit detailed capability statements for each aircraft platform, including technical specifications, mission performance history, maintenance capabilities, and training support. The evaluation will focus on vendors' ability to meet mission-specific capabilities like tactical data links, weapon integration, and rescue equipment. Capability statements must be submitted to Contracting Officer Monica E. Mende by March 21, 2025, with a recommended length of approximately 10 pages per aircraft/mission profile.
This RFI does not constitute a commitment to purchase, and the ultimate quantity of aircraft will depend on Coast Guard program needs and funding availability. There are no specific set-aside designations for this procurement, and the market research aims to gather Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing for each aircraft and mission profile. Vendors must be prepared to handle proprietary information and ensure maintenance staff possess a secret clearance. The RFI covers potential leasing needs across three to five air stations nationwide, with specific operational requirements in the National Capital Region and Jacksonville, Florida. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly named, the Coast Guard is seeking comprehensive solutions that can effectively replace and potentially improve upon the current MH-65 helicopter platform.
