Sources Sought for potential sources of supply for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and inspection services of the United States Coast Guard's C-37 Aircraft. This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought synopsis only. This is not a request for proposal and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of potential sources capable of fully satisfying a potential requirement. The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is conducting market research to identify any and all potential sources capable of performing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and inspections of the USCG's C-37 aircraft. This potential requirement will include but may not be limited to Field Service Representative (FSR) support, field team support (domestically and internationally), technical updates to the production manuals, management of aircraft maintenance tracking, avionics upgrades, communication system upgrades and maintenance, off-aircraft equipment certification for the USCG-owned Gulfstream-V, (military designation C-37A) to include airframe, engine, auxiliary power unit (APU), avionics and ancillary equipment maintenance. Interested parties are informed that all maintenance/support specified by any potential requirement shall be accomplished by a Gulfstream Authorized Service Center, Gulfstream Factory Authorized Service Center or Gulfstream Authorized Warranty Facility. The USCG cannot assist in any interested party's attempts to secure any or all of the aforementioned certifications. Responses to this notice must include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact (POC), and evidence of possession of the aforementioned certifications and/or licenses issued by the OEMs. Responses to this notice must include 1) Business size; 2) If small, any further classification as a small business; and 3) Capabilities listing relative to services described herein. 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 in the FBO. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are not adequate response to any future solicitation announcement. All interested parties will have to respond to the solicitation in addition to responding to this sources sought synopsis. Again, this is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. All companies that can meet the specification should provide a capability statement, OEM certification/licensing agreement and FAA certification documentation, company literature, brochures, or any other information that demonstrates how the specification can be met. Any questions should be directed to Nancy.DeBerry@uscg.mil. Responses to this sources sought notice along with any capability statements, company literature, brochures shall be mailed to Commanding Officer, Aviation Logistics Center, Heavy Maintenance Facility, Elizabeth City, NC 27909, ATTN: Contracting Officer. Telephone responses will not be accepted. Responses must be received no later than 22 April 2019, 4:00 p.m. DST. Firms responding to this announcement that fail to provide all of the required information cannot be used to help the Government 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 to this sources sought notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request to be considered for a contract award. All interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement. Responses to this source sought notice will not result in automatic distribution of any future solicitation for these services. Reimbursement will not be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement and any follow-up information requests.
