12/29/25, 2:42 PM 36' Arctic Landing Craft Repower
The United States Coast Guard seeks procurement of a complete Volvo Penta D4 marine propulsion system package to repower a 36-foot Munson Landing Craft, with proposals due September 3, 2026. The procurement is restricted to a single source based on brand-name justification; the Volvo Penta D4 system and specified ancillary components are uniquely necessary to maintain exact form, fit, and function compatibility with the vessel's existing structural, mechanical, and electronic architecture. The justification asserts that alternate manufacturers' products would require cost-prohibitive structural transom modifications, complete helm rewiring, duplicative engineering safety reviews, warranty voiding, and unacceptable delays to mission readiness.
Place of performance and delivery are F.O.B. Destination to the Ketchikan Alaska Marine Lines terminal at 3295 Tongass Avenue, Ketchikan, AK 99901, with a target delivery date of October 1, 2026.

The requirement includes two Volvo Penta D4 engines with transom shields and DPI outdrives; Electronic Vessel Control system and components per engineering document 38-LCVP-252-001; Racor 500MA10 filter assemblies; Hotstart CTM10110-N00 engine block heater with circulation pump; and DPI drive aluminum weld/spacer plates designed for aluminum hull repower fabrication. All parts must be in new condition from the Original Equipment Manufacturer or authorized distributors. The contractor shall supply all equipment, components, and shipping; USCG or an independent shipyard will handle physical mounting and installation. The contractor shall perform final commissioning and sea trials using a certified OEM technician to activate the standard commercial warranty.
The estimated contract value is $160,000 on a Firm Fixed Price basis. The contract covers three line items: propulsion package and ancillary parts (CLIN 0001), freight and shipping (CLIN 0002), and on-site commissioning and sea trials including authorized technician labor, travel, and expenses (CLIN 0003). NAICS code is 333618, Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing; PSC is 2815, Diesel Engines and Components. The contract will be awarded under FAR 12 commercial supplies and services procedures.
