Sole Source; Tank, Mixed Resin & Filters

The U.S. Coast Guard, operating under the Department of Homeland Security, has published a Special Notice announcing its intent to award a sole source contract to DREW MARINE USA INC for tank mixed resin and water and fluid filters. The procurement covers three specific National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs): 016937259, 017320236, and 016934584. This Special Notice was posted on December 10, 2025, and is being conducted under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits sole source awards when only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. DREW MARINE USA INC is identified as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary knowledge and specialized capabilities that are essential to meet the requirements. The Coast Guard has determined that no other vendor possesses the necessary compatibility, quality, and performance capabilities to provide these goods and services.

While this announcement indicates an intent to award a sole source contract, interested parties who believe they can fulfill the requirements are invited to submit a capability statement by the December 18, 2025 deadline. All submissions must be received in writing by the specified deadline, as telephone requests will not be honored. Prospective contractors should understand that providing a capability statement does not guarantee consideration for a competitive procurement, as the final determination to compete or proceed with the sole source award remains solely at the Government's discretion. No reimbursement will be provided for costs associated with submitting capability information. This procurement falls under NAICS Code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and PSC Code 2940 (Engine Air and Oil Filters, Strainers, and Cleaners, Nonaircraft), and no small business set-aside is being applied to this opportunity.
