Overhaul and Purchase of ABB Turbochargers and Cartridges Used on 225 Ft WLB Coast Guard Vessels

The U.S. Coast Guard SFLC IBCT Product Line is seeking qualified sources for:

Repair and/or purchase of an indefinite quantity of Turbochargers, ABB part number VTC254-14/HT408015 and Turbo Cartridges, ABB part number 10900 to maintain adequate warehouse stocking levels to support Major Maintenance Availabilities of WLB-225 "A" class buoy tenders.

It is anticipated that an eventual contract period of performance will consist of one (1) base year and four (4) option years. It is estimated that up to one defective turbocharger and one defective turbo cartridge will be submitted each year for inspection and overhaul/repair. Exact quantities will depend on the cutter availabilities, individual cutter needs, and SFLC warehouse inventory levels.

The requirement is for turbochargers and turbo cartridges to support geographically dispersed WLB-225 "A" class buoy tenders. These parts are designed to conform to, and mate with, the Caterpillar 3608 Main Propulsion Diesel Engine.
