This is a firm fixed-price purchase order awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard, a civilian agency within the Department of Homeland Security, to Fairbanks Morse, LLC, a for-profit limited liability company and manufacturer of marine defense technology. The contract is for the inspection and repair of 30 Fairbanks Morse ALCO Connecting Rods, valued at $127,678.41, with a completion date of May 10, 2025.
The original solicitation was a 100% small business set-aside, seeking contractors to overhaul the connecting rods in accordance with OEM procedures. Fairbanks Morse was identified as the only source capable of successfully repairing these specific parts due to their proprietary technical data and access to genuine OEM components. This contract appears to be part of Fairbanks Morse's broader support of U.S. naval operations, as the company frequently serves as a prime and subcontractor on major naval vessel construction and maintenance projects for the Department of Defense.
