Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking quotations for the Overhaul of Oxygen Regulators (NSN: 1660-01-407-8856, Part Number: 29270-10A-B2) under RFQ 70Z03826QH0000055. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity for commercial items, with an anticipated firm-fixed price purchase order award. The solicitation has been extended, and quotations are now due by April 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Scope of Work
The objective is to provide overhaul services for USCG ALC components, specifically Oxygen Regulators, ensuring they are returned in an airworthy and "Ready for Issue" (RFI) condition. The contractor will supply all parts, labor, and materials for the overhaul, complying with applicable technical directives (e.g., 15X6-3-21-3, 15X6-3-21-4) and Original Equipment Manufacturer's Commercial Maintenance Manuals (CMM). The scope includes repair of failed components, replacement of missing hardware, and removal of foreign matter or corrosion. Pricing for Service Bulletins or repairs for "Unusual Damage" (defined as misuse, cannibalization, or crash damage) will be handled separately. No drawings, specifications, or schematics are available from the agency.
Contractor Requirements & Certifications
Offerors and their sub-contractors must be either an FAA Certified Overhaul Facility, OEM Certified Overhaul Facility or OEM Certified Distributor, or a DoD Certified Overhaul Facility. Key requirements include demonstrating access to all required technical data and manuals, ensuring replacement parts are new, OEM-traceable, or certified "serviceable"/"repaired," and providing overhauled components certified as airworthy. A Certificate of Conformance (COC) per FAR 52.246-15 is required for each overhauled component, but a COC is not acceptable for certifying airworthiness (FAA Form 8130 or equivalent is needed).
