Provide On-Site Aircraft Maintenance Services (AMS) for Depot Level Maintenance (DLM) support for aircraft, components, Ground Support Equipment (GSE), Aircraft Life Support Equipment (ALSE) and various other parts and components in support of USCG aviation. As the sole industrial complex for USCG aviation, ALC supports all aviation units. To ensure that aircraft remain in top condition, the ALC currently completes DLM (described as a total overhaul of an airframe) every four (4) years on each of the USCG’s aircraft. During the overhaul process, any required repairs, modifications, and/or upgrades are also completed by ALC. ALC may also complete overhauls and repairs for various other Government aircraft and components. The USCG is seeking sources who have the capability to provide such labor support services with an expected start date of September 16th, 2024 at USCG ALC in Elizabeth City, NC.
