Description
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking quotations for a sole‑source purchase of Advanced Boresight Equipment (ABE) Model 310A and its Adapter Set, required to align the embedded GPS/Inertial Navigation System on MH‑60T helicopters. The OEM, Textron Systems, holds all proprietary data, drawings, and tooling; no other distributors exist, so competition is not feasible.

Quotations must be submitted by 2:00 p.m. ET on 9 Oct 2026 (actually 3 Sept 2026) via email, referencing the solicitation number. The contract is expected to be awarded around 22 Sept 2026.
