Background The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking to procure a specialized item known as the Suppression, J-Box, which is essential for the maintenance of the MH-60T aircraft. The contract is being awarded on a sole source basis to Fidelity Technologies Corporation, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this item. The agency's mission includes ensuring operational readiness and reliability of its aircraft, and this procurement is crucial for replacing components that may fail due to corrosion or damage during routine maintenance.

The USCG may require an additional quantity of items within 365 days after the initial award date at the same price and lead time as the original order. All items must have clear traceability to Fidelity Technologies Corporation, including necessary certifications and a Certificate of Conformance (COC). Period of Performance The geographic location(s) the product will be delivered to or performed at. Place of Performance The geographic location for delivery has not been specified but will be determined by USCG requirements. Bidder Requirements Bidders must provide clear traceability to the OEM, Fidelity Technologies Corporation (Cage Code 0CJZ9). They must also furnish a Certificate of Conformance and provide necessary certifications including traceability to the manufacturer. The contractor must ensure compliance with sustainability requirements as outlined in the statement of work. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior award 70Z03824PR0000175, awarded to Fidelity Technologies Corporation for purchase orders of Suppression, J-Box units used on USCG MH-60T helicopters (value $97,369; period 12/27/23–04/22/24). The current RFQ requests the same nomenclature and NSN/part number for the MH-60T maintenance use case, with an initial quantity plus potential follow-on quantities within 365 days, which is consistent with a continuation of the same OEM-sourced component procurement.
