What this contract is for

In recognition of the importance of the Buy American statute (BAA) to the U.S. economy, and to promote and enhance awareness and public visibility, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) publishes annually a list of procurement actions using the BAA domestic nonavailability waivers executed during the previous year. During Fiscal Year 2025, DHS executed 1,051 contract actions valued at $80,195,215.23 using the domestic nonavailability exception under the BAA. This figure represents approximately 1.87 percent (by dollar value) of the annual DHS procurement obligations for the fiscal year subject to compliance with the BAA. Most of these actions were awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) for i) miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components; ii) airframe structural components; iii) helicopter rotor blades, drive mechanisms, and components; iv) tubing; and v) hardware. To maintain and service aircrafts and various other assets, USCG must acquire parts from the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), many of which are foreign. These items are considered “spare and replacement parts for equipment of foreign manufacture, and for which domestic parts are not available,” and fall under the class nonavailability determination at FAR 25.103(b)(1) and 25.104(a). For any questions about this posting, please contact: Shaundra Ford [email protected] DHS Office of the Chief Procurement Officer

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
