Industry Day Event Schedule.docx

This is an Industry Day Event Schedule for a pre-solicitation market research engagement conducted by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) regarding modernization efforts aboard USCGC HEALY (WAGB-20). The event consists of two days of technical presentations, vessel walkthroughs, and industry discussions scheduled for October 26-27. Day 1 focuses on the Deaerating Feed Tank (DFT), feedwater treatment, and boiler controls modernization, with opening remarks and technical overview from 0730-0830 shoreside, followed by a guided walkthrough of the boiler room and auxiliary machinery spaces aboard USCGC HEALY from 0830-1000, and group discussions with industry vendors from 1000-1300. Day 2 addresses the steering control system replacement, featuring similar structure with opening remarks and technical overview from 0730-0830 shoreside, a guided walkthrough of steering gear compartments and bridge consoles from 0830-1030 aboard USCGC HEALY, and group discussions with system integrators and original equipment manufacturers from 1030-1300.

The two primary requirements being developed through this industry engagement are: (1) design and installation of one new Deaerating Feed Tank with associated feedwater treatment system and renewal of the obsolete boiler Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with burner sequencing controls, and (2) replacement of the existing steering control system with an open-architecture, commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) PLC-based design that interfaces with existing auxiliary and navigation systems and upgrades electronic sub-systems including Rudder Servo Amplifiers (RSA), Rudder Repeat Backs (RRB), Rudder Angle Transmitters (RAT), and Steering Failure Alarm (SFA) panels. Prototype installations for both work packages are planned during the vessel's FY2028 Maintenance Availability. This pre-solicitation notice is for market research and early industry engagement purposes and does not constitute a Request for Proposal.
