This is a full and open competitive solicitation which could result in a single or multiple award. This will be decided at the time of award. Q. We are a small business integrator capable of working with various OEMs to streamline the purchasing process. Is the USCG contemplating a small business set aside? A. At this time, we are trying to identify how to solicit this requirement. This will be accomplished by utilizing the results of this sources sought notice. Q. If so, do you anticipate being able to obtain a waiver to the Non-Manufacturer Rule to facilitate this. A. We are soliciting this requirement under 336413, which is included in the Non-Manufacturer Rule Waiver. Q. In general, what kinds of repair services would be required? A. This is a requirement for supplies. Q. What licensing does the “OEM license” refer to? Attachment 1 shows 52 unique manufacturer codes. Are companies requested to obtain and submit these for every OEM during the sources sought phase or later during the solicitation phase? A. During the solicitation phase, when providing a quote, you will identify the manufacturer cage code for the part you are quoting. If a Certificate of Conformance or airworthiness is required, the vendor will provide that certification when they ship the parts, you will not be required to provide the certification during the solicitation process.
