CGC HAMILTON - Fan Motor/Hanger Supply Fan

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), a component of the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking to procure a specific fan motor for the CGC HAMILTON vessel through a small business solicitation. The procurement involves a replacement hanger supply fan motor manufactured by American Fan Co., with precise technical specifications including a vane axial type, 3-phase, 440V, 60 Hz motor rated at 7.5 HP with 11 impeller blades and counterclockwise rotation. The solicitation is associated with a unique Coast Guard case number 114799 and targets vendors capable of meeting the detailed motor requirements. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the documents, the procurement appears focused on technical compliance and ability to meet the precise motor specifications. The solicitation was posted on June 3, 2025, with responses due by June 12, 2025, and potential vendors are advised to contact CWO Matt Temple for additional information.

The contract opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for this procurement. The place of performance is located in Charleston, South Carolina, specifically at the CGC HAMILTON facility at 1050 Register St. in North Charleston. Market research has indicated an expected lead time of 28-30 weeks for the fan motor, which suggests a relatively extended procurement and delivery timeline. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 336611 for Ship Building and Repairing and PSC category 2090 for Miscellaneous Ship and Marine Equipment. The solicitation stems from an operational need, as the current fan motor is seized with an open winding, necessitating an immediate replacement to maintain vessel functionality. While no specific award value is mentioned, the procurement appears focused on a single, specialized piece of marine equipment.
