Duct Assembly, Air C
Solicitation # 70Z03826QJ0000206
The United States Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center intends to award a sole source Basic Ordering Agreement call to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer, for eight units of the Duct Assembly, Air C (NSN 1660-01-395-6232, Part Number 70500-82231-056) under Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A1-22-G-0005. This requirement is unrestricted and not subject to any small business set-aside, with the North American Industry Classification System code 336413 and Product Service Code 1660. The item is critical to the MH-60T helicopter fleet expansion and is approved exclusively by the USCG’s Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on this platform due to its complexity, requiring unique production methods and rigorous testing, justifying sole source procurement under FAR 12.102(a). Delivery is requested within 90 days after receipt of order, with early shipments encouraged at no additional cost to the government, and the F.O.B. point is origin. Inspection and acceptance will be conducted at origin by the Defense Contract Management Agency. Quotations from any responsible source may be submitted via email to Cindy.K.Harmes@uscg.mil and mrr-procurement@uscg.mil with the solicitation number 70Z03826QJ0000206 in the subject line, but the response deadline has been extended to August 7, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT. Award will be based solely on the determination of fair and reasonable pricing, and no formal solicitation package will be issued. While offerors must submit representations under FAR 52.212-3 and certain clauses of 52.212-5 and 52.213-4, the contracting officer will not consider or enforce specific provisions including Paragraph (d) of 52.212-3 and several subsections of 52.212-5 and 52.213-4, despite SAM requirements possibly still prompting their inclusion. The requirement remains under the Basic Ordering Agreement, and no award will be made until pricing is deemed fair and reasonable.

REMANUFACTURE OF B-1 YAW TRIM ACTUATOR
Solicitation # FA811826R0039
The contract is a five-year firm-fixed-price indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) award for the remanufacture of the B-1 Yaw Trim Actuator, structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 336413. The Government does not currently have funds obligated for this contract; payment is contingent upon future appropriation and written notification by the Contracting Officer. Pricing is expected to be based on adequate price competition, eliminating the need for certified cost or pricing data at proposal stage, although the Government reserves the right to request such data if competition is later deemed insufficient. The contract requires that all work be performed to restore items to like-new condition, with all costs—including material, labor, equipment, packaging, and technical order compliance—bundled into the unit price, except for missing parts, which require separate O&A approval and are paid without additional overhead or profit. Each line item has a minimum order of 12 units and a maximum of 40 units over the five-year period, with delivery scheduled at three units every 30 days as required, and F.O.B. Origin terms apply. Item Unique Identification (IUID) complying with DFARS 252.211-7003 and MIL-STD-130 is mandatory, requiring permanent marking with a 2D matrix barcode and submission to the DoD IUID Registry. Contractors must be qualified, with unqualified vendors required to submit a Source Approval Request via DoD SAFE to the Tinker AFB Small Business Office, and must request technical data through Shannon Reed, providing a completed DD Form 2345 and company letterhead. Access to drawings requires a DD Form 2875 submitted to the designated A-Team liaison. The Government supplies parts for repair, but failure to provide the estimated or maximum quantities will not permit price adjustments. Units deemed beyond overhaul limits must be reported immediately to the Administrative Contracting Officer, and condemned units do not count toward production. The contractor is responsible for securing long-lead components and must comply with DPAS priorities, nuclear hardness controls, and reverse engineering protocols requiring formal approval prior to any re-engineering efforts. All test equipment must be NIST-traceably calibrated, and any work impacting nuclear hardness must be halted pending Government approval. Award will be made on a lowest price technically acceptable basis, with price being the sole evaluation factor assessed for completeness, reasonableness, and unbalanced pricing risk. Invoicing must

Respondents are expected to demonstrate their ability to manage the full lifecycle of production including procurement of component parts, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, while also showing capacity for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, and addressing diminishing manufacturing sources. Key evaluation criteria for market responses include scope and scale alignment, application of financial and technical resources, project management effectiveness with emphasis on schedule compliance, cost containment, performance tracking, personnel retention, and risk mitigation. The government is considering whether to set aside the eventual procurement for small businesses or pursue full and open competition, with the possibility of multiple awards, based on the responses received. All submissions must be sent via email to Michelle R Scott by August 11, 2026, and must include organizational details, ownership size and type, and tailored capability statements that validate technical and operational readiness. No drawings, technical orders, or qualification requirements are available, and no formal pricing, delivery schedule, or contract clauses have been established. Participation is voluntary, with no reimbursement for costs incurred in responding.
