About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard, a civilian agency under the Department of Homeland Security, is seeking to procure ALCO 251 overhaul parts kits for its fleet of Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC 210' and 270' class vessels) and the Long Range Enforcer POLAR STAR icebreaking vessel. These proprietary parts kits are essential for inventory stock and direct delivery to support overhaul and maintenance operations of the main diesel engines in these vessels. The Coast Guard does not possess the proprietary technical specifications, drawings, manufacturing data, or special tools necessary to source these parts independently, as this information was not acquired during the original engine procurement. Interested contractors must demonstrate their capabilities by submitting evidence of past satisfactory provision of required overhaul kits to the OEM or Government, and must provide a written letter from the OEM verifying their authority to supply genuine OEM parts and kits while confirming access to necessary technical information. The Coast Guard anticipates awarding this contract as a sole source requirements-type IDIQ contract to be fulfilled through individually funded delivery orders. The deadline for submission of capabilities information is March 30, 2026, and inquiries or information received after this established deadline may not be considered.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation. Fairbanks Morse Engines, LLC, the original equipment manufacturer of the ALCO 251 engines, is the presumed incumbent and sole source for these specialized overhaul parts kits, though the Coast Guard has invited other potential sources to demonstrate their capability and OEM authorization to compete. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an overall contract award value or budget range, as awards will be made through individually funded delivery orders issued as requirements arise. Similarly, no specific quantities of parts kits or service timeline parameters are detailed in the notice. The Coast Guard has indicated that submission of capabilities data will not impede the planned contract award, meaning the evaluation process may proceed without delay regardless of responses received from alternative sources.

Inquiries/information received after the established deadline MAY NOT be considered for this acquisition. Submission of this data for review shall not impede award of this contract as planned. The Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement WILL NOT be reimbursed.
