About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for procuring two specific aircraft support assemblies for fuel cells: Left-Hand (L/H) and Right-Hand (R/H) with specific NSN and part numbers. These components must be sourced directly from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation or an authorized OEM distributor, with vendors required to provide documentation of OEM approval. The sources sought synopsis is designed to gather comprehensive information about potential suppliers, including company details, business classification, and capabilities. Respondents must answer detailed questions about their business status, including size, ownership type, certification, and government contracting experience. The USCG is seeking to understand the market's capacity to supply these proprietary aircraft parts, with responses due by March 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, to be submitted via email to Trenton Twiford with a specific reference number in the subject line.

No specific set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and the opportunity is open to various business types including small, disadvantaged, 8(a), HubZone, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the USCG is interested in understanding potential lead times, quantity discounts, and existing government agency usage of the product. Respondents are asked to provide details about their current GSA schedules, other government agency contacts, and product usage references. The synopsis emphasizes that this is a market research effort and not a formal solicitation, with any future procurement to be published on SAM.gov. Interested vendors should note that responding to this sources sought notice does not guarantee inclusion in a prospective offerors list or automatic receipt of a future solicitation.
