This is a Statement of Work (SOW)/Specification for Parts Purchase and Technical Services related to the 225' WLB Midlife Red Gear Overhaul, originated by the U.S. Coast Guard's Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) on December 17, 2025. The specified contractor is Timken Gears and Services Inc. dba Philadelphia Gear.

The contract encompasses two primary deliverables: (1) procurement of new, unused genuine OEM Philadelphia Gear brand parts for the reduction gear overhaul, with preservation, packaging, packing, marking, and bar coding in accordance with SFLC-D-084-0481 standards; and (2) technical services including onsite technical representative support, troubleshooting and repair advisory services, engineering design studies, and evaluations. Technical services must be performed at USCG homeports and shipyards throughout the continental United States, with contractor personnel required to respond within 36 hours of notification and arrive within 36 hours thereafter.
