It details requirements for representations and certifications related to telecommunications equipment (prohibiting certain covered equipment/services per FAR 52.204-24 and 52.204-26), responsibility matters (FAR 52.209-7), and offeror representations for commercial products and services (FAR 52.212-3). Key aspects include submission instructions, evaluation criteria for sole-source acquisitions, and definitions related to small business concerns, foreign trade, and ethical conduct.

    Attachment 2 - Schedule of Supplies.xlsx
    This government file, Attachment 2, outlines a procurement request for aircraft tires (MLG and NLG) across a base year and four option years, identified by solicitation number 70Z03826QL0000003. For each year, the document lists the Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs), National Stock Numbers (NSNs), part numbers, OEM CAGE codes, nomenclature, estimated quantities (190 EA for MLG tires and 60 EA for NLG tires), and unit of issue. All unit prices and extended prices are listed as zero, resulting in a total cost of $0.00 for each year and an estimated contract total of $0.00. This attachment serves as a pricing table or schedule for the potential acquisition of these specific aircraft tires over a multi-year period.
    Attachment 3 - Redacted JA.pdf
    The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) proposes a sole-source acquisition for Main Landing Gear (MLG) and Nose Landing Gear (NLG) tires for its HC-144 aircraft from Wilkerson Company Incorporated. This action, estimated at $2,389,202 over a base year and four option years, is justified under FAR 13.501(a)(1)(ii) due to the tires being Critical Safety Items (CSIs). Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Limited, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), has authorized only Wilkerson Company Incorporated as a distributor. Despite a previous solicitation yielding four responses, only Wilkerson Company Incorporated was deemed capable of providing OEM-approved tires essential for aircraft airworthiness and mission support. The USCG lacks the technical data to promote full and open competition and anticipates fair and reasonable pricing based on historical data and market research.
