rnment is not at this time seeking proposals or quotes and will not accept unsolicited proposals or quotes. No proprietary, classified, confidential, or sensitive information should be included in your response to this Sources Sought synopsis.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing CT7 and T700 Engine Test Cell Technical Support Services (TSS). To ensure operational continuity, this requirement also includes integrated Mechanical, Electronic, Sensor, and[JS1] Fluid Systems Maintenance and Calibration for core system components. Because these systems are highly interdependent, the USCG intends to combine both the TSS and maintenance/calibration requirements into a single, comprehensive contract. Responses: Responses to this notice should include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact (POC), repair capabilities, certifications, etc. which will allow the USCG to understand your full capabilities. Please respond to the following questions when submitting capabilities. 1. Is your company a large or small business? 2. If small, does your company qualify as a small, emergent business, or a small, disadvantaged business? 3. If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your company certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? 4. Is your company a certified hub zone firm? 5. Is your company a woman-owned or operated business? 6. Is your company a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned? 7. Are your company's services listed on a GSA schedule? 8. Do you have other government agencies using this service, and if so which agencies, POC�s and contract numbers? 9. Do you offer a warranty with your product, if so, how long? 10. List experience maintaining and supporting CT7/T700 engine test cells (or other related Turboprop, Turboshaft, and Turbojet engine test cells) and related data acquisition systems (DACS). 11. Detail your capabilities in maintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing mechanical, fuel, pneumatic, and hydraulic test cell subsystems. 12. Provide calibration certifications and standards traceability (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025, NIST). 13. What are your typical response times for on-site emergency repairs and technical troubleshooting? 14. Can you provide all required TSS and mechanical/fluid system calibration services in-house, or will a teaming agreement/subcontractor be utilized? After review of the responses to this Sources Sought/RFI, and if the USCG plans to proceed with the acquisition, a Request for Quotes (RFQ) will be published on the Contract Opportunities website www.sam.gov. Responses to this Sources Sought/RFI are not adequate responses to any future RFQ. All interested offerors must respond to the RFQ in addition to responding to this Sources Sought/RFI notice. Responses to this Sources Sought/RFI are NOT a request to be added to a list of prospective offerors or to receive a copy of the solicitation. Reimbursement will not be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this notice and any follow-up information requests. Closing date and time for receipt of response is 09/024/2026 at 3:00 P.M. Eastern Time. Telephone responses will not be accepted.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.

Investor context
  • $AMTM reported $7.9B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 8 past awards, $5.1M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
