Manufacture and Overhaul of Controllable Pitch Propeller Hubs and Purchase of Spare Parts

The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is soliciting proposals for the manufacture and overhaul of Controllable Pitch Propeller (CPP) Hubs specifically designed for 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter vessels, along with the procurement of associated spare parts and long-lead time components. This indefinite delivery, requirements-type contract encompasses both manufacturing new hub assemblies and overhauling existing units for left-hand and right-hand configurations, with strict adherence to original equipment manufacturer specifications including ABS Type 4 Nickel Aluminum Bronze construction and precise dynamic balancing requirements. The procurement includes comprehensive technical requirements for hydraulic actuation testing, hub cavity pressure testing, non-destructive testing, and detailed quality assurance protocols. The solicitation originally required proposal submissions by August 22, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, but Amendment A00001 has extended this deadline to September 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST. Vendors must monitor the solicitation site for additional amendments and submit signed acknowledgments of all amendments with their proposals.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be structured as a sole-source acquisition targeting Northwest Propeller Operations, Inc. as the intended contractor. The contract structure includes a base year plus four one-year option periods, with estimated quantities of two units per line item for both manufacturing and overhaul services, along with provisions for contingency parts in beyond economic repair scenarios. The solicitation includes detailed pricing schedules for long-lead time parts across all contract periods, though current pricing fields show zero values pending vendor completion. Contract performance will be conducted in Lakewood, Washington, with the procurement falling under NAICS code 332999 (All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing) and PSC code 2010 (Ship and Boat Propulsion Components). The solicitation encompasses multiple technical specifications and parts lists, including contingency parts ranging from $1 to $45 per unit, demonstrating the comprehensive nature of this marine propulsion system support contract.
