2) SOLE SOURCE HORNBLOWER 14 MAR 24 (1)_Redacted (1).pdf

This notice provides details regarding a sole-source procurement for vessel rental services. The Coast Guard intends to solicit, negotiate, and award a sole-source contract to City Experiences, by Hornblower, for rental of the vessel Hornblower on March 14, 2024. The vessel meets all specifications required to conduct maritime training for the MSRT WEST unit by that date, and no other vessels in the area are available to provide the same services on the required timeline in order to ensure members' qualifications do not lapse. Interested parties may submit a capability statement by March 8, 2024 demonstrating how they can meet the requirements, but the Coast Guard retains sole discretion to determine whether competition is warranted. Submitted information may be used for any lawful government purpose.
