Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), has issued a Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Call for Bracket Assemblies (NSN 1560-01-HS2-4946, Part Number 70500-22107-058) for the MH-60T aircraft. The USCG intends to negotiate with Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation as the sole source. While not a request for competitive proposals, responsible sources may submit a quotation by May 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM EDT.
Purpose & Scope
This notice announces the USCG's intent to procure specific Bracket Assemblies for the MH-60T aircraft's routine maintenance. The procurement is justified as a sole source acquisition from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (CAGE Code 78286), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), under Basic Ordering Agreement SPE4A1-22-G-0005. The justification (Attachment 2) cites FAR 12.102(a), stating that Sikorsky owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings, making it uneconomical for the Government to acquire the complex, unique item elsewhere.
