About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center Norfolk has issued a Special Notice of Intent to Award for MK39 A5 Circuit Card OEM components, specifically targeting Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation as the intended recipient. This notice concerns the procurement of two Quad Serial Interface circuit cards (Part Number 1981171) for the Coast Guard's MK39 A5 Gyrocompass system. The Coast Guard has indicated its intent to award this order to Northrop Grumman based on their claim of sole source capability for these specialized components. The notice was published on July 3, 2025, and falls under the marine hardware and hull items procurement category. Northrop Grumman has provided documentation confirming their exclusive status as the provider of these specific circuit cards, both for spare parts and repairs.

The primary purpose of this Special Notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to award while simultaneously conducting market research to identify any alternative sources capable of providing equivalent circuit cards. Interested parties must submit written responses by 10 AM on July 8, 2025, to Jacqueline Handley at the Coast Guard, including comprehensive company information such as CAGE code, UEI number, business size classification, and documentation proving their equipment's equivalency to Northrop Grumman's products. The government explicitly states that pricing information should not be included in responses and that this notice does not constitute a formal Request for Quotation. Companies must demonstrate their capability to handle classified information and provide detailed explanations of their ability to meet the supply requirements outlined in the attached Statement of Work. The 92-week manufacturing lead time and specialized nature of these gyrocompass components underscore the technical complexity and limited supplier base for this procurement.
