About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking to procure LPU-27/FW Vest Kits through a brand-name solicitation for commercial items under simplified acquisition procedures. The procurement specifically requires 78 vest kits (Part Number K1361-BL) manufactured by Aerial Machine & Tool Corporation, with all items requiring clear traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer and delivered as new approved parts. This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that serves as both synopsis and solicitation, with no separate written solicitation to be issued. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror representing the best value to the government, with technical acceptability evaluated based on the ability to provide new manufactured commercial items from the approved OEM source. The solicitation includes a justification for other than full and open competition under FAR 6.302-1(c) due to the highly specialized nature of these items and exclusive technical data rights held by the manufacturer. Quotations are due by September 3, 2025, with delivery required within 120 days after receipt of order.
This procurement is unrestricted with no set-aside designations, allowing all responsible sources to submit quotations despite the brand-name requirement limiting competition to Aerial Machine & Tool Corporation (Cage Code 70133) as the sole approved manufacturer. Amendment 0001 added an option for an additional 50 vest kits to be purchased within 12 months of the initial award at the same pricing terms. The base requirement calls for 78 vest kits with delivery scheduled for 120 days after receipt of order, though early deliveries are acceptable. Performance will take place with delivery to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and the items are classified under PSC 4220 for Marine Lifesaving and Diving Equipment.
