About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard is procuring Medevac IIA Litters for use on Coast Guard aircraft through a combined synopsis/solicitation under the simplified acquisition procedures. The procurement specifically requires twelve (12) Medevac IIA Litters with National Stock Number 4220-01-483-1934 and Part Number 406-F, manufactured exclusively by Lifesaving Systems, LLC (CAGE Code 64249). This is a brand-name requirement justified under FAR 6.302-1(c) because these specialized 2-piece stainless steel litters are specifically designed for Coast Guard search and rescue operations with a 3,000-pound lift capability and 20-year service life. The evaluation will be based on lowest-priced, technically acceptable criteria, with technical acceptability determined by the vendor's ability to provide new, manufactured commercial items directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer. All quotations are due by August 20, 2025, and delivery must be completed within eight weeks after receipt of order.
This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designations, operating under NAICS code 336413 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract includes an option under FAR 52.217-6 for the Coast Guard to purchase up to an additional fifteen (15) litters at the same unit price as the initial order. The current contractor is Lifesaving Systems, LLC, located in Apollo Beach, Florida, which owns all technical data and specifications for these specialized rescue litters. Performance will occur with delivery to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The government anticipates awarding a firm-fixed price purchase order, and vendors must provide a Certificate of Conformance demonstrating clear traceability to the manufacturer along with their quotations.
