About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard, specifically the Operational Logistics Command (LOG-94), has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole-source purchase order to Hornblower Yachts, LLC for vessel rental. The procurement is structured under FAR authority 6.302 and will utilize a firm-fixed price contract type for acquiring a target vessel needed by the USCG Maritime Security Response Team West in California. The notice is categorized under NAICS Code 48599 for Other Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of V214 for marine passenger transportation. This sole-source procurement is being pursued under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which allows for non-competitive acquisition when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to secure a vessel for tactical training purposes, specifically supporting maritime security response team exercises involving complex operational scenarios. Contractors should note that this is not a competitive solicitation, and the government will only consider alternative sources if credible responses are received within eight days of the notice. The selected vessel must meet specific technical requirements, including being a U.S.-flagged passenger ferry between 150-250 feet long with capacities ranging from 500-1,200 passengers. Eligible vessels must provide capabilities for helicopter operations, boat insertions, and support training activities such as close-quarter combat tactics, CBRNE response, and tactical communications. Interested parties are instructed to direct any questions exclusively via email to Christopher U. Columbres at christopher.u.columbres@uscg.mil, with telephone inquiries explicitly prohibited. If no viable alternative sources are identified, negotiations will proceed directly with Hornblower Yachts, LLC for the vessel rental.
