About this opportunity
The United States Coast Guard is procuring specialized diving and life safety equipment through a brand-name solicitation for Aqua Lung Survival Egress Air (SEA) System components. The procurement consists of 40 SEAS-1 valves with 27-inch hoses and 200 SEA 1.5 cubic foot cylinders, both manufactured exclusively by Aqua Lung USA, Inc. These critical safety items serve as personal emergency air sources for Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer Crewmen during life-saving missions. All items must be new, approved parts with complete traceability to the original equipment manufacturer, and contractors must provide a Certificate of Conformance in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contract will be awarded to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror, with technical acceptability based on providing new items directly from the OEM or approved source. The solicitation deadline is August 21, 2025 at 2:30 PM EST, with an anticipated award date of August 28, 2025.
This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, operating under NAICS code 339999 with a small business size standard of 550 employees. The solicitation specifically requires brand-name items from Aqua Lung USA, Inc. (CAGE Code 94120) due to the specialized nature of the equipment and the government's lack of technical data rights for alternative sources. A firm-fixed price purchase order is anticipated, though no specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation documents. Delivery is required within 180 days after receipt of order to the Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, with early deliveries acceptable. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 4220 for Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment, reflecting the critical safety mission these components support.
