The USCG SFLC PBPL has an ongoing requirement for both routine maintenance and emergency repair HVAC services onboard our vessels. We are specifically interested in determining if the Marine HVAC industry has existing vendors who are capable of leveraging their service network and/or service partners logistics footprint in correlation to the Patrol Boat fleet locations below, to reduce as much as possible the amount of commercial travel & lodging required in providing services onboard our vessels in the following diverse geographic areas:
