Who to talk to

At the forecast stage there is no active procurement, so contact is welcome rather than restricted — this is the one window where a direct conversation is straightforwardly appropriate.

The Small Business Specialist is usually the better first call. Helping firms like yours find and compete for this work is their actual job, and they can tell you whether a set-aside is still under consideration.

Statement of work, as posted

The Coast Guard is planning to conduct specific sub-system recapitalizations in support of the CGC HEALY Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) from FY2027 to FY 2031. A number of these system recapitalizations require integration and tie-in to the existing Integrated Power Plant (IPP) system. The existing IPP system is comprised of the Central Power Plant (common bus electric propulsion and auxiliary power generation systems) and selected components/systems in the auxiliary machinery plant, which is maintained/managed by a separate services contract. This acquisition is a multi-year contract with the scope focusing on the integration of the recapitalized sub-systems into the IPP system. The sub-systems intended to be recapitalized currently include: the Science Sea Water System Pump and Cyclone Separator, Steering Control System Components, Sanitary System Components, Over-the-Side Weight Handling System, Deaerating Feedwater Tanks, and the Bow Thruster. The IPP system is proprietary and the USCG intends to award to a sole source for this acquisition to the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The Vendor shall provide on-site technical support for training, system testing, commissioning, and certification. The Vendor shall provide maintenance parts lists and a recommended onboard repair parts (OBRP) list for all components.
