MH-65 Temporary Sanding Space

The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (Solicitation No. 70Z03826IB0000007) to gather information from qualified suppliers on portable enclosure systems—such as inflatable or modular fabric structures—that can provide a temporary, controlled sanding space for aircraft and component surface preparation within existing hangars. The solution must create a three‑chamber environment (clean entry, transition/decontamination, work zone), maintain negative pressure (≥ ‑0.10 in WG in the work area during sanding, ≥ ‑0.05 in WG when idle, and ≥ ‑0.05 in WG in the transition area), incorporate HEPA‑filtered exhaust (99.97 % capture at 0.3 µm), support 4‑6 downdraft tables with required clearances, and meet NFPA 33, NFPA 409, NFPA 410, OSHA, EPA/NESHAP, and related aviation corrosion‑control standards. Additional requirements include intrinsically safe communications, temperature/humidity control, and documented training, maintenance, and inspection procedures. Responses—limited to written capability statements, literature, or brochures (telephone responses not accepted)—must be submitted by 2 p.m. EDT on April 23, 2026 (extended to May 7, 2026 per Amendment 1) to Selmary Melendez, Aviation Logistics Center, 1664 Weeksville Road, Hangar 75, Elizabeth City, NC 27909, or via email (Selmary.MelendezGonzalez3@uscg.mil) with the subject line “MH‑65 Temporary Sanding Space RFI Submission, [Company Name]”. The RFI is for market research only; it does not constitute a solicitation, contract award, or prospective offeror list, and no costs will be reimbursed. Suppliers are asked to address the required capabilities listed in Attachment 1 and provide any relevant contract history, small‑business certifications, and existing GWAC or GSA contracts that could support future acquisition.
