- Description
- This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes and to identify interested sources. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. It is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. Further, unsolicited proposals will not be accepted. Funding is not available at this time. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has not made a commitment to procure any of the services discussed, and release of this RFI should not be construed as such a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be required or sought. All submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP if any is issued. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) website, www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of the potential responders to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this subject. The USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) requests capability statements from interested companies for the purpose of identifying potential sources capable of providing R391 Propeller Assembly sustainment. This requirement consists of Depot level (D-Level) maintenance for R391 propeller assemblies as required by the Government, Field Service Representative (FSR) on-site technical support, OEM engineering expertise, and data, drawings and specifications for system components and updates as issued by the OEM for the USCG HC-130J/HC-27J and US Army Special Operations Command (ASOCOM) C-27J aircraft. Due to flight safety and the critical nature of the propeller assembly, interested parties must possess an unrestricted license issued directly by the OEM. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 336413 with a Small Business Size Standard of 1000 employees.
