Solicitation _SUPPLIES UPDATED JUNE 2026.docx

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation issued by the United States Coast Guard for the procurement of steerer joysticks. The Coast Guard intends to award a brand name contract for seventy-five (75) units of the Steerer Joystick, Part Number HM1973, National Stock Number 2030-01-468-5974, for use on 47-foot Motor Lifeboats (47'MLB). The solicitation number is 70ZU0327Q50203B00. This procurement has been determined to require only one brand name product, as no other supplies will satisfy the agency's requirements, in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b). The Coast Guard has justified this brand name determination through a JOTFOC (Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition) document that is attached for reference.

This announcement serves as both the synopsis and the only solicitation for this requirement; quotes are being requested directly and no separate written solicitation will be issued. Interested vendors should submit quotes in response to this combined announcement. The procurement is a direct quote request rather than a full competitive solicitation, reflecting the justified sole-source nature of the brand name requirement.
