Attachment 1 - USCG Air Stations.xlsx

The "Sources Sought Notice 70Z03826IE0000002 Attachment 1" is a document requesting information from vendors regarding their capabilities to provide calibration services for various U.S. Coast Guard Air Stations. The notice lists 27 Coast Guard Air Stations, their addresses, and the estimated number of calibrated items per station, totaling 7,189 items. Vendors are required to provide their name, CAGE code, address, phone number, point of contact, business size, and indicate whether they have capable facilities to service each air station, along with their mileage radius to each. Additionally, the notice asks for contractor certifications (ISO17025, ANSI/NCSL Z540, Joint Naval Audit), their ability to comply with specific technical manuals (AFTO 33K-1-100-1, AFTO 33K-1-100-2, OEM Manual, GIDEP), and their capability to provide regular delivery and pickup services.

The document provides a comprehensive list of parts and serial numbers, likely representing inventory or equipment logs within a government agency. The entries include various alphanumeric codes such as "QD1R50", "ANV-20/20", "ADTS-3350ER", "FLUKE", and "S78XTFZ", each paired with a unique serial or identification number. Some entries also indicate categories like "SERIES" or specific characteristics like "(13mm)" or "( 6in)". The recurring appearance of certain prefixes such as "QD", "QC", and "ADTS" suggests a classification system for different types of equipment or components. The document also lists specific models and manufacturers such as "Keysight", "Starret", "Amptec", and "Fluke", indicating a diverse range of items. This detailed cataloging is crucial for asset management, maintenance, and procurement within federal, state, or local government operations, ensuring accountability and efficient resource tracking.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is conducting market research to seek sources capable of providing Tool Calibration and Repair Services for the Twenty Six (26) USCG Air Stations. The required services include testing, calibrating, repairing, modifying, certifying, storing, safeguarding, transporting, adjustments and performing traceable measurement documentation. The Contractor(s) shall provide all parts, labor, tooling, test equipment and facilities necessary to perform calibration and repairs of tools and equipment. There are approximately 7,189 pieces issued each year between the 26 USCG air stations, averaging 277 pieces per air station. This averages approximately 23 pieces per month per air station. The largest piece count at a single air station is 725, the lowest is 55. Non-Emergent calibrations are expected to be returned within ten (10) business days of pickup.

The types of calibration measurements to be performed include but are not limited to direct current (DC) voltage, DC resistance, DC current, alternating current (AC) voltage, AC current, mass, pressure, temperature, humidity, capacitance, inductance, frequency, torque, dimensional flatness, length, angle, and thread.

The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for the future acquisition is 541380 - Testing Laboratories and Services. The size of business pursuant to NAICS 541380 - Testing Laboratories and Services is $19.0M.
