PROCURMENT OF RIVET, COMPRESSION FOR USE ON MH-65

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is soliciting quotations for the procurement of rivets, compression, for use on MH-65 aircraft. The solicitation is open to all responsible sources, and the USCG anticipates awarding a firm-fixed-price purchase order on a competitive basis. The contractor must provide new manufactured commercial items from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an OEM-approved source. The parts must have clear traceability to the OEM and meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) guidelines. The USCG may increase the quantity of supplies called for in the schedule by up to 3,000 at the unit price specified. Key points to consider include: • The provision of a Certificate of Conformance (COC) and traceability to the OEM • Compliance with FAA guidelines • The possibility of an increase in the quantity of supplies • The requirement for new manufactured commercial items • The need for clear traceability to the OEM
