About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard, under the Department of Homeland Security, has issued a Notice of Intent to Award for marine fenders to Wing Inflatables, Inc. as a sole source procurement. The acquisition involves five marine fenders with Part Number 8400049 (NSN 2040-01-659-0033) specifically designed for the CB-ATON-M-18 vessel, with a total estimated value under $48,000. This procurement action is being conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation provisions for simplified acquisition procedures and sole source justification. The notice was posted on September 22, 2025, with responses due by September 23, 2025. Wing Inflatables, Inc. is identified as a small business operating under NAICS code 336612 (Ship Building and Repairing).
The sole source justification is based on Wing Inflatables' exclusive possession of manufacturing drawings, specifications, and technical information necessary to produce these critical marine safety components. The Coast Guard's market research determined that alternative vendors cannot reproduce the exact fit, form, and function required, and using non-original parts could potentially degrade mission effectiveness. Contractors wishing to challenge this sole source determination must provide clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government, cost-effective, and would not hinder mission objectives or be time prohibitive. All questions and comments must be directed to Contracting Officer Michael Fitzer via email only, with no phone communications accepted. The government emphasizes this is not a request for quotes or proposals, and will not reimburse any costs incurred by parties responding to this notice.
