This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought notice 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 notice is to gain knowledge of any potential commercially available qualified sources and their size classifications (HUB Zone, 8(a), Small, Small Disadvantaged, Large, etc.) relative to NAICS 333514. The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), requests capability statements from interested vendors for the purpose of identifying sources for the procurement of an H-60 Tail Pylon Refurbishment Fixture and the upgrade of the existing H-60 Tail Pylon Refurbishment Fixture, Part Number (PN) ADC-198-04-1. These fixtures are required for use in repairing tail rotor pylons on USCG H-60 aircraft. Fixture requested must use Master 70200-6150-041T015 and be certified by Sikorsky. Responses to this notice should include company name, address, telephone number, and point of contact (POC), business size, responses to specific questions below, and any additional information which will allow the USCG to understand your full capabilities. All companies that can meet the specification are encouraged to provide a capability statement, company literature, brochures, or any other information that demonstrates that the specification can be met. 1. What is the part number for your fixture? 2. What is your company's standard delivery time and terms for the fixture and upgrade? 3. Are these fixtures considered commercial items? 4. Does your company offer a warranty, and if so, what is the standard warranty for new and upgraded? 5. Is the H-60 pylon refurbishment fixture proprietary to your company? 6.
