This posting is not a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a Request for Quotes (RFQ) and it is not considered to be a commitment by the Government to award a contract nor is the Government responsible for any costs incurred in furnishing information provided under this Sources Sought notice. No basis for claim against the Government shall arise as a result of a response to this Sources Sought notice or Government use of any information provided. Further, the Government 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 notice.

Background: The USCG is planning the sundown of the C‑27J fleet and seeks to assess whether Dowty R391 propellers that have accumulated service on the C‑27J (R391/6‑132‑F/10) can be overhauled and employed on the HC‑130J (R391/6‑132‑F/3). OEM correspondence flags differences in usage spectra, airworthiness limitations, and platform designation/traceability. USCG seeks independent, rigorous industry input on whether a technical, airworthiness, and sustainment-acceptable path exists, with or without OEM endorsement.
