DTNA Parts Pre-solicitation Notice

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is seeking to procure Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Daimler Truck North America (DTNA) 60 Series Marine Engine parts for its 45' Response Boat Medium (RBM) fleet. The procurement will be conducted as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a one-year base period and four one-year option periods, potentially lasting from June 1, 2025, to May 31, 2030. The government plans to award up to three contracts and will use a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation method to select vendors. Proposals must be submitted via email to Kirk Miller by a specified date in 2025, and must include a signed solicitation, completed pricing schedule, OEM authorized dealer letter, and all applicable provisions. Vendors will be required to provide pricing for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) across the base and option years, with a 90-calendar day delivery requirement for each order.

The contract is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS category 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing). The solicitation covers 140 specific parts for the DTNA S60 Marine Engine, with quantities ranging from 1 to 3,300 units per part, including various engine components such as adapters, gaskets, sensors, valves, hoses, electronic assemblies, and mechanical parts like turbosuperchargers and cylinder heads. While current pricing is listed as $0.00, suggesting that final pricing will be determined during the solicitation process, the contract demonstrates the Coast Guard's intent to establish a reliable supply chain for critical marine engine components. The USCG will ensure a properly executed Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) is completed prior to contract award, indicating a strategic approach to sourcing these specialized parts.
