About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard is soliciting quotations for four Voice Flight Data Recorders (Part Number 180383-003, National Stock Number 6610-01-HS1-6851) through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 70Z03826QJ0000036. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared under FAR subpart 12.6 and part 13, with quotations requested by December 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. Technical acceptability will be evaluated based on the contractor's ability to provide new manufactured commercial items from the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proper authorization, licensing documentation, OEM traceability, and a Certificate of Conformance. Key requirements include providing clear traceability to GE Aviation Systems LLC (Cage Code 35351) as the OEM, detailed packaging and shipping instructions for aviation parts, and potential Certificate of Airworthiness documentation, with inspection and acceptance to be performed at destination in Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no small business set-aside, and a firm-fixed price purchase order is anticipated to be awarded on a sole source basis to GE Aviation Systems LLC. The Coast Guard anticipates purchasing four items initially, with the option to require up to four additional items (maximum of eight total) at the same price and lead time within 365 days of the initial award date, in accordance with FAR 52.217-6. The specific award value has not been disclosed in the solicitation notice. These Voice Flight Data Recorders are required for the MH-60T helicopter as replacement items during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage, and delivery is specified to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The justification for sole source procurement emphasizes that GE Aviation Systems LLC owns all technical and manufacturing rights to this complex item and is the approved manufacturer per the Aircraft Configuration Control Board.
