About this opportunity

The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center has issued a Notice of Intent to Sole Source for the procurement of a MiniVisc 3000 portable viscometer for the CGC Henry Blake vessel. The Coast Guard facility in Alameda, California intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract to SPECTRO SCIENTIFIC of Chelmsford, Massachusetts using commercial item procedures under Federal Acquisition Regulations Parts 12 and 13. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336611 for Ship Building and Repairing and is not designated as a small business set-aside. This acquisition involves a specialized viscometer capable of measuring viscosity between 10-350 cSt at 40C, along with necessary accessories including USB adapter, cable, AC adapter, charger, and instructional materials.

The primary purpose of this notice is to inform industry contractors of the government's intent to conduct a sole source procurement rather than pursue competitive bidding. Interested parties have until 8:00 AM Pacific Time on September 9, 2025, to submit written responses via email demonstrating clear, compelling, and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. The notice explicitly states that no solicitation document is available, telephone requests will not be honored, and no awards will be made based on unsolicited quotations received in response to this announcement. Any contractor wishing to challenge the sole source approach must provide substantial justification for why a competitive procurement would better serve government interests. The Coast Guard retains sole discretion in determining whether to proceed with the sole source award or pursue competitive procurement based on any responses received.
