1.0 DESCRIPTION

This notice is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is issued by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for information and planning purposes, pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10, Market Research. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. All participants are advised that the Government will not pay for any information or administrative costs that result from responding to this RFI; all costs associated with responding to this RFI will be at the interested party’s expense. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued.

2.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this RFI is to seek a contractor capable of procuring and installing a new boiler condensate salinity monitoring system on the CGC HEALY.

Specifically, the USCG requires the contractor to supply and install two Burkert 8619 Multicell Controllers and two Burkert 8220 Conductivity Sensors and associated components. This new system will replace the obsolete and unsupported McNab MC-81 salinity cells and must be adapted to the existing monitoring locations in Auxiliary Machinery Room #1.

In response to this RFI, the USCG requests that the following information and deliverables be provided:

1) Interested parties should provide a detailed response that satisfies the requirements outlined in Appendix A.

2) Describe your capability and approach to meeting the specific requirements in Appendix A, including welding, shipboard electrical work, and system integration.

3) Confirm your ability to procure the specified Burkert components and provide an estimated lead time.

4) Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost for the following:

a) Complete scope of work, including all labor cost breakdown.

b) Purchasing of all materials

c) Any travel related costs to complete work.

4.0 RESPONSES

Interested parties should respond to this RFI no later than 4:00 PM, Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), on March 20, 2026. All RFI responses shall address the requested deliverables and information detailed in Section 3.0. Responses shall be submitted electronically via email to:
