About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to identify potential contractors capable of upgrading Ship's Service and Emergency Generator Switchboards on thirty-six 154' Sentinel Class (WPC 154) cutters, specifically Hulls 1101 through 1138. The Coast Guard seeks to retrofit these Fast Response Cutters with Point Eight Power switchboards to replace obsolete RAACI switchboards that currently use Woodard EasyGen 3200 series controllers and Siemens 3VL circuit breakers, addressing obsolescence issues and improving system commonality across the fleet. The comprehensive work includes feasibility studies, installation design, prototype installations on two cutters, and full-scale retrofit implementation with all necessary labor, materials, and technical support. Companies must demonstrate past performance evidence, confirm SAM registration, and provide detailed company information including business size and certification status. The government has indicated its intention to potentially award this contract on a sole-source basis, with interested parties required to submit responses by 1:00 PM EST on August 4, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and falls under NAICS Code 335313 (Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract structure includes a base period of 12 months with four additional 12-month option years, providing a potential total performance period of five years for the complete retrofit program. The work will be performed at contractor facilities, vessel home ports, and potentially at USCG facilities in Norfolk, VA, covering all 36 cutters in the specified hull range. Key deliverables include feasibility reports, detailed installation plans, prototype installations with comprehensive testing, and provision of replacement parts to support future installations. The government has not disclosed specific budget ranges or award values in the available documentation, focusing instead on gathering market intelligence to inform future solicitation decisions.
