USCG engine stand

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a notice of intent to award a sole-source purchase order for aircraft engine maintenance equipment, with responses due by July 13, 2026 at 11:00 am EST. This is a Total Small Business set-aside restricted to CUDA II (UEI M88HGNLH3L37) based on brand-name requirement under FAR 12.102(a); the government has determined that only one source can meet the requirement because the items were designed and manufactured by Midwest Aircraft as the original equipment manufacturer, and the Coast Guard does not own the technical data or specifications necessary to develop adequate purchase descriptions or reverse-engineer the items.

The procurement is for three specialized components to support removal and placement of AE2100D2 aircraft engines at the Coast Guard Aviation Technical Training Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina: an Engine Maintenance Stand (Part Number 23053577 REV G), an Adapter Diffuser Case (Part Number 23066561), and an Adapter Yoke Forward (Part Number 23055704). The contract value is $88,478.00. Delivery must occur within 210 calendar days of award. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, manufacturer documentation including operation manuals and safety instructions, and a one-year warranty with pricing inclusive of shipping.

Although this is a notice of intent to award, the Coast Guard invites any party who believes they can perform the requirement to submit a capability statement by July 13, 2026. Information received will be considered solely for determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement; the government is not obligated to compete based on responses received.
