About this opportunity
The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) has issued a Notice of Intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Fairbanks Morse, LLC for the repair of the USCGC Thunder Bay's vertical drive component. Published on December 4, 2025, this special notice announces the government's intent to procure vertical drive repair services under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 13 commercial item procedures. The contracting officer is exercising authority under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) to solicit from a single source, citing the commercial nature of the procurement. This notice is classified under NAICS code 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and is not a small business set-aside. The procurement is being conducted as an informational notice rather than a formal competitive solicitation.
The objective of this notice is to inform potential contractors of the government's intent to proceed with the sole source award while simultaneously providing an opportunity for interested parties to submit alternative proposals demonstrating competitive advantage. Contractors wishing to challenge the sole source determination must submit written evidence by December 9, 2025 at 8:00 AM PST to Donna J. Oneal at donna.j.oneal@uscg.mil, clearly demonstrating why competition would benefit the government. The period of performance for the vertical drive repair is December 10-31, 2025, with work to be performed on the USCGC Thunder Bay located in Rockland, Minnesota. The scope of work includes disassembling components, removing and replacing the lower vertical drive bearing, and providing specified parts such as vertical shafts, capscrews, roller bearings, and spherical bearings. Eligibility is limited to firms capable of performing commercial-item-level ship repair work, and the government retains sole discretion to proceed with competitive procurement regardless of responses received.
