U.S. Coast Guard H-60T Maintainer Training Unit and Hot Mock Up Training Devices

The Department of Homeland Security, through the U.S. Coast Guard Office of Aviation Acquisitions, has issued a Sources Sought Notice under solicitation 70ZA0127AIRC12002 to identify capable industry partners for the acquisition of two aviation training devices. The project involves the procurement and installation of a Maintainer Training Unit (MTU) and a Hot Mock Up (HMU) at the Aviation Technical Training Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. These devices are intended to provide Aviation Maintenance Technicians and Avionics Electrical Technicians with a fleet-representative environment to practice troubleshooting and maintenance at the Line Replaceable Unit level. The MTU must allow instructors to induce specific discrepancies, while the HMU must provide instantaneous fault induction simulating an operational MH-60T cockpit, including autopilot, navigation, communication, and indication systems. Technical requirements specify that the systems must operate on Windows 11 within an air-gapped standalone network and comply with Agency Cybersecurity and Risk Management Framework standards. Deliverables include comprehensive Technical Data Packages consisting of wiring schematics, interface control drawings, and instructor manuals. As this is a Request for Information and not a formal solicitation for proposals, the government is seeking company profiles, technical capabilities, recommended contract types, and non-binding Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimates from both small and large businesses. Responses must be submitted by November 23, 2026, to the designated points of contact, Sharita Leathers and William Prebble.
