About this award
The Military Sealift Command awarded a $153,050 firm fixed-price purchase order to Vane Brothers Marine Safety & Services, Inc., a small disadvantaged business based in Portsmouth, Virginia, for the procurement of 20 Elliot MK IV DL United States Coast Guard (USCG) life rafts with 25-person capacity. These specialized life rafts are intended as replacement inventory for the USNS Comfort (T-AH), a T-AH Class hospital ship operated by MSC that provides expeditionary medical capability for the Department of Defense. The procurement was conducted as a single-source acquisition under simplified acquisition procedures, justified by the critical nature of the equipment, standardization requirements with other T-AH Class vessels including USNS Mercy, and proprietary rights held by the manufacturer Elliot. No small business set-aside was applied to this contract award.
The life rafts must be delivered to the MSC W143 Warehouse in Norfolk, Virginia, by December 22, 2025, with delivery and acceptance required to meet operational requirements for the vessel. Vane Brothers Marine Safety & Services specializes in maritime safety equipment inspection, maintenance, and certification services for federal agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The contract was awarded on September 23, 2025, following a solicitation posted on August 14, 2025, with quotes due September 3, 2025. Award was made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable quoter based on technical capability and pricing evaluation criteria.
