About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is procuring two specialized metal forming machines manufactured by Merchant by Salform, Inc., specifically one semi-portable air-operated shrinking machine and one semi-portable air-operated stretching machine with standard flat jaws. These machines are required for the Short Range Recovery (SRR) Structural Repair Shop to form aircraft parts used on MH-65E helicopters. The solicitation is structured as a brand name procurement requiring clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), with all parts needing complete documented provenance from an approved source. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offeror based on the ability to provide new manufactured commercial items that meet the specific technical requirements. The original solicitation deadline was September 5, 2025 at 11:00 AM EST, but Amendment 1 moved the closing date to September 4, 2025 at 11:30 AM EST due to a quote being received, with all submissions required via email to terrie.l.pickard@uscg.mil.
This procurement does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, though the small business size standard is established at 1,250 employees under NAICS code 336413. The recommended vendor is Merchant by Salform, Inc., located in New Britain, Connecticut, which appears to be the sole source for these specialized machines due to their unique pneumatic power, portability, compact dimensions, and capability to form multiple metal types including aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium. The total estimated contract value is $29,950.00 for both machines combined, with the procurement anticipated to result in a firm-fixed price purchase order. Performance will involve delivery to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with specific packaging, shipping, and labeling requirements. The procurement is structured under simplified acquisition procedures as a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items, with no drawings, specifications, or schematics available from the agency.
