Only new items are acceptable; reconditioned or used materials are NOT acceptable. The USCG WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MANUALS OR DRAWINGS FOR THIS REQUIREMENT. Suppliers must be able to provide necessary certifications including a Certificate of Conformance and traceability to the OEM for the below parts. Traceability means that the supplier must be able to show a clear documented, auditable paper trail for ownership and transfer of each part, from the OEM to the final vendor.

Responses to this notice should include company name, address, and telephone number, point of contact (POC) and complete product details, brochures, etc. which will allow the USCG to understand your product, configurations, auxiliary equipment, and options. Also, state the approximate lead-time after receipt of an order for acquiring your product. Please provide the details and terms of any standard warranty included with the product. Additionally, provide a response on whether the product has or has not been qualified for use in any Department of Defense or Federal Government Aircraft. Responses can be for all or for a few of the part numbers listed.

The Government considers the applicable NAICS code is 336413-Other Aircraft Parts 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 USCG still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published in the Federal Business Opportunity website. 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. Again, this is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the USCG to award any contract.

Responses to this sources sought notice shall be mailed to Deborah Krull at United States Coast Guard, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, 27909-0501 or e-mailed to [email protected]. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Responses must be received no later than 25 June 2012 at 15:45 hours (3:45 PM EST). 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 sources sought synopsis are NOT a request to be added to a prospective offerors list or to receive a copy of the solicitation.
