About this opportunity

The United States Coast Guard is seeking a small business contractor to perform load banking testing on two Westinghouse 1000KW main propulsion generators aboard the USCGC Katmai Bay in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan. The solicitation requires a qualified technician to conduct a comprehensive load bank testing procedure that involves progressively increasing engine speed and load percentages from no load to 100% across various time intervals, with specific mechanical checks at each stage. The contract will be awarded using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with a focus on past performance evaluation. Contractors must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must submit a detailed work plan including technician qualifications and equipment specifications. The proposal response is due by May 19, 2025, with a contract performance period of three calendar days from award notification.

This contract opportunity is set aside exclusively for small businesses in the ship building and repairing sector (NAICS 336611). The total scope of work involves load banking two main propulsion generators, with equipment requirements including a load bank matching generator characteristics, approximately 150 feet of electrical wiring, and a portable particle counter. The testing will take approximately 8-9 hours, including parallel generator load banking and MPCMS grooming. A Coast Guard inspector must be present during all procedures, and the contractor will be required to submit written reports detailing parameters at each testing interval. The place of performance is the USCGC Katmai Bay, located at 337 East Water Street in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan, with all work to be completed within three calendar days of contract award.
