This is a sources sought synopsis only. This is NOT a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of commercially available products that may be of interest to the United States Coast Guard (USCG). BACKGROUND: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) currently operates thirteen HC-144A aircraft. The end state for the fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets. The HC-144A aircraft is manufactured by EADS CASA based in Seville, Spain. The base CASA CN-235-300M provides the foundation for the USCG HC-144A aircraft. The USCG HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft are operated differently from general aviation in support of such Coast Guard missions as: Search & Rescue, Surveillance, Logistic Support, and Law Enforcement Missions. These missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt-laden environments which accelerate corrosion on airframe structures, engines and other components. The aircraft, the engines and their components are inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with (IAW) the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) periodic requirements and in conjunction with the USCG's specialized Asset Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS) and require tools and ground support equipment to accomplish this task. OBJECTIVE: The Coast Guard objective is to establish a firm-fixed price contract to purchase tools and ground support equipment as identified below. Procurement will be restricted to the part numbers listed. This requirement must be restricted to authorized sources of the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or firms who can effectively demonstrate their ability to provide the equipment with documentation of origin or traceability to the OEM. REPLIES: The Government believes the applicable NAICS code is 336413-Other Aircraft Part and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Please respond to the following questions: (1) Is your business a large or small business and how many employees? (2) If small, does your firm qualify as a small, emergent business, or a small, disadvantaged business? (3) If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your firm certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? (4) Is your firm a certified hub zone firm? (5) Is your firm a woman-owned or operated business? (6) Is your firm a certified Service Disabled Veteran-Owned? (7) Is your product listed on a GSA schedule? (8) Do you have other government agencies using the product, and if so which agencies, POCs and contract numbers? (9) If possible, provide POCs for civilian users for general usage of product questions. After the review of the responses to this sources sought announcement, and if the government still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published at the government point of entry in the FedBizOpps, www.fob.gov. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are not adequate response to any future solicitation announcement. All interested offerors will have to respond to the solicitation in addition to responding to this sources sought synopsis. Nomenclature and parts numbers that will be on the schedule of parts are as follows: SEE ATTACHMENT Responses to this notice should include company name, address, and telephone number, point of contact (POC). Please state the approximate lead-time for acquiring your product and the details and terms of any standard warranty included with the product. Responses can be for all or for a few of the part numbers listed. Responses to this sources sought notice shall be mailed to the Aviation Logistics Center, 1664 Weeksville Road, Elizabeth City, North Carolina 27909, Attention: Richard L. Atha, Contract Specialist, MRS Division or emailed to Richard.L.Atha@USCG.mil. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Responses must be received no later than 17 September 2012 at 1600 hours (4:00PM EDT). Firms responding to this announcement that fail to provide all of the required information cannot be used to help the USCG make the appropriate acquisition decisions which is the intent of this sources sought notice. This notice is to help the USCG in determining potential sources only. All firms responding are advised that their response is not a request to be considered for contract award.
