The United States Coast Guard, through its Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, is conducting market research under solicitation number 70Z03826IH0000030 to identify qualified sources capable of overhauling specific fuel cell components listed in Attachment 1. This is strictly a Sources Sought Notice, not a solicitation for proposals or quotes, and carries no obligation to award a contract. The USCG is seeking responses only from companies certified as FAA, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), or Department of Defense overhaul facilities with access to the most current technical directives and manuals required to perform the work, as these documents are not maintained or provided by the government. Respondents must confirm their certification status, indicate if subcontracting is feasible for manufacturing components, and address the feasibility of supporting a potential five-year contract term including four option years. Additional required information includes estimated lead times, acceptable payment terms such as Net 30 or credit card, business size classification, NAICS code 488190, and socioeconomic status including whether the firm qualifies as small, small disadvantaged, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or Hub Zone certified, along with 8(a) certification status if applicable. Respondents are also asked whether their product is listed on a GSA schedule, if other government agencies are using the service, and what contract types they have previously performed under, such as firm-fixed-price or cost-reimbursement. All responses must be submitted via email to designated USCG contacts by 12:00 PM EDT on May 27, 2026, with the solicitation number included in the subject line. This initial market research will inform the government’s acquisition strategy, and if a solicitation is issued in the future, it will be published on SAM.gov, requiring all interested parties to respond separately; submissions to this notice do not constitute entry into a prospective offeror list or guarantee receipt of the future solicitation.
