Description
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking information from potential sources for aircraft modification services, specifically for the missionization of C-130J aircraft with the Minotaur Mission System Suite (MSS+). The missionization effort will commence with the USCG's 23rd HC-130J and will include the installation and testing of components as depicted in the government-owned MSS+ Technical Data Package (TDP). The USCG is looking for companies that can provide missionization installation for a base of three USCG C-130J aircraft and one CBP C-130J aircraft, with potential options for additional aircraft. The period of performance is estimated to begin mid-2028 and will not exceed 10 years.
Some key points to consider:
* The USCG is looking for companies that can provide missionization installation for C-130J aircraft.
* The missionization effort will include the installation and testing of components as depicted in the government-owned MSS+ TDP.
* The USCG is looking for companies that can provide prototype and integration efforts for new capabilities and/or solutions addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS).
* The period of performance is estimated to begin mid-2028 and will not exceed 10 years.
* The USCG is looking for companies that can provide a recommended period of performance, induction interval between aircraft, and missionization length.
