About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is soliciting quotations for seven Whip Antennas (NSN 5985-01-393-2383, Part Number 18-12P4) manufactured by Chelton Limited through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 70Z03826QJ0000074. This commercial item procurement is being conducted under FAR subpart 12.201 with firm-fixed price award anticipated on a brand name basis. Key contract requirements mandate that all items must have clear, documented, and auditable traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Chelton Limited, with offerors required to provide Certificates of Conformance (COC) in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. Evaluation criteria prioritize non-price factors—specifically technical acceptability and delivery confidence—over price considerations, with delivery options ranked as High Confidence (within 45 days), Satisfactory Confidence (46-60 days), or Low Confidence (61+ days after award). The response deadline is February 9, 2026 at 10:00 AM EST, with a requested delivery date of February 27, 2026.
This solicitation is designated as 100% Set-Aside for Total Small Business, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and is restricted to authorized distributors or the OEM itself due to the classified and critical nature of MH-60T aircraft components. The procurement is driven by the Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center's need for replacement antennas due to routine maintenance failures, corrosion, and damage on the MH-60T aircraft fleet. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. The seven antennas must be delivered to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, where inspection and acceptance will be performed by local Coast Guard personnel. Packaging must accommodate multiple shipment modes (land, air, or sea) and exclude prohibited materials such as popcorn, shredded paper, Styrofoam, and peanuts, with each part individually labeled with NSN, Part Number, Serial Number, Quantity, Nomenclature, and Purchase Order information.
