About this opportunity

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential suppliers for an Alodine Tank System, a specialized 4-tank chemical processing system required for their Aviation Logistics Center. The procurement seeks a complete system consisting of an Etch Tank, two Rinse Tanks, and an Alodine Tank, each measuring 34"L x 24"W x 26"D with adjustable dimensions, along with secondary catch containment capable of holding 110% of the largest tank's capacity to comply with EPA and OSHA regulations. All tanks must be constructed from polypropylene or equivalent materials and include circulation pump systems, pneumatic drain systems with manifold connections for hazardous waste collection, and protective lids. The system's total length cannot exceed 11 feet, and all electrical components must be positioned at least 18 inches above the hangar floor. Interested parties must provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) pricing response by September 2, 2025, though this notice does not constitute a formal solicitation and creates no obligation for contract award.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors capable of meeting the technical specifications. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, and no specific budget range or estimated contract value has been disclosed by the Coast Guard. The procurement involves a single Alodine Tank System unit to be delivered to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center, with delivery requirements including an industry-standard warranty and Certificate of Conformance. The specialized nature of this chemical processing equipment, falling under NAICS code 332813 for Electroplating, Plating, Polishing, Anodizing, and Coloring, suggests this is likely a niche procurement targeting manufacturers with specific expertise in industrial chemical processing systems. The timeline indicates the Coast Guard is in early market research phases, with responses due within eight days of the notice posting date.
