The United States Coast Guard, through its Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, has issued a Sources Sought Notice under solicitation number 70Z03826IH0000027 to gather market intelligence on the availability of factory-new cockpit control panel spare parts for HC-130J aircraft. This notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposals, or any obligation to award a contract. Respondents are asked to provide details about their capability to supply specific components listed in Attachment 1, which includes actuators, gear boxes, and ball screw spares identified by NSNs and part numbers. The response must include the company’s name, address, telephone number, CAGE code, and point of contact, along with answers to 14 detailed questions covering OEM status, subcontracting possibilities, quantity discounts, estimated lead times, acceptable payment terms, business size classification, and socioeconomic certifications such as Small Disadvantaged Business, Woman-Owned, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hub Zone, and 8(a) program participation. The notice also requests information on whether the firm’s products are listed on a GSA schedule, whether other government agencies utilize the same parts, and what contract types the firm has previously performed under. Responses are to be submitted via email no later than May 20, 2026, at 12:00 PM EDT to two designated email addresses, with the solicitation number clearly noted in the subject line. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code associated with this effort is 336413, indicating aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. While the notice references potential future contract actions and encourages vendors to share feedback on preferred contract structures such as firm-fixed-price or hybrid arrangements, no formal evaluation factors, payment offices, accounting data, packaging or inspection requirements, or delivery schedules are defined at this stage. The government will review submissions to assess market capability and determine whether to proceed with a formal acquisition through a subsequent solicitation to be posted on SAM.gov. Responses to this notice are not considered proposals and do not place the respondent on any offeror list or guarantee receipt of future solicitation documents. The contracting office is located in Elizabeth City, NC, and the procurement activity is conducted under the Department of Homeland Security.
