What types of technical capabilities does the ALC prioritize for new vendors?

The ALC prioritizes vendors with expertise in aircraft structural repair, engine overhaul, and the manufacturing of obsolete or hard-to-source aerospace parts. Suppliers must demonstrate strict adherence to FAA-certified maintenance standards and Coast Guard-specific technical specifications.

Are there specific certifications required to win contracts at the ALC?

While not always mandatory for every solicitation, holding AS9100 quality management certification and demonstrating robust supply chain management systems significantly improves a vendor's competitive standing for aviation-related awards.

How does the ALC structure its procurement for aircraft parts?

The ALC frequently utilizes Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to manage the flow of spare parts and repair services. Vendors should monitor for solicitations related to long-term sustainment programs for specific airframes like the HC-130 or MH-60.
