NOAA/OMAO/AOC - Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Loaner Engines

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, Aircraft Operations Center, is seeking information from potential vendors to identify capable sources for providing loaner aircraft engines to support its fleet operations based in Lakeland, Florida. The requirement calls for two Pratt & Whitney PT6A-60A BE350 loaner engines to support three Beechcraft King Air aircraft—two King Air 350CERs and one King Air 360CER—and two PT6A-27 loaner engines to support four De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. The contractor must be a Pratt & Whitney authorized distributor, with proof of authorization required as part of the response. This solicitation is a sources-sought notice issued as a Request for Information, meaning it is a market research tool and not a formal solicitation or procurement. Responses are due by June 4, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET and must be submitted as a statement of capabilities not exceeding ten pages via email to the designated point of contact. Interested firms must include their company name, address, Unique Entity Identifier, NAICS code 336412, size status consistent with the 1,500-employee standard, socio-economic status if applicable, and any relevant GSA Federal Supply Schedule information. All engines must be delivered to the Lakeland facility no later than September 1, 2026. No pricing details, contract value, or formal terms such as FOB or inspection criteria are established at this stage, as the government is gathering industry capabilities prior to any potential future contract action.
