SOURCES SOUGHT ATTACHMENT 1.docx

This document is a Sources Sought notice for the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center seeking components for the Machinery Propulsion System on 175' WLM Keeper Class Buoy Tenders. The government requires a single kit of components, which they believe can only be procured from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (Rockwell Automation), due to proprietary technical and engineering data.

The notice invites potential vendors to demonstrate their capability to obtain the specified components within 15 calendar days of the posting date. Interested firms must submit: (1) verification of part number acquisition, and (2) evidence of previous component delivery to the government. Respondents must fully prove their ability to meet requirements, with the understanding that this information solicitation will not impede the contract award. The opportunity is being managed by the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Coast Guard, specifically the Engineering Services Division's In Service Vessel Sustainment branch.
