The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking a contractor to provide aircraft paint services for its HC‑144 maritime‑patrol aircraft (and potentially other airframes such as the C‑130). Work will be performed in the contractor’s FAA‑certified 145 repair facility and must meet strict turnaround times, quality standards, and environmental regulations. The contract will be an indefinite‑delivery‑requirements (IDR) vehicle with a one‑year base period and up to four one‑year option periods (maximum five‑year term). Offers must include all required certifications, warranty for paint workmanship, and pricing for each of the five potential years. • Scope includes de‑painting, scuff‑sand, and repaint of the external fuselage; options for full de‑paint or limited scuff‑sand will be dictated by the government per delivery order. • Required turnaround: 10 days for full de‑paint, 16 days for scuff‑sand, and 17 days for final paint (with a total maximum of 24 days for any paint work). • Contractor must have an environmentally‑controlled paint booth, ISO/AS9100 or FAA‑approved quality system, hazardous‑waste management capability, and ability to accommodate a CN‑235‑size runway for fly‑in/fly‑out deliveries. • All proposals must be submitted electronically by 4 p.m. Eastern Time on 23 Nov 2026, with questions to be submitted no later than 27 Oct 2026.
