20 -- John Crane Lips Major Overhaul Kits for 210 Class A USCG Cutters

The United States Coast Guard, through MLC Atlantic, plans to issue a purchase order for 20 John Crane Lips Major overhaul kits specifically designed for 210A Class USCG vessels. This procurement is conducted under the Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 for commercial items and is solicited on a brand-name basis, citing the unique proprietary data held by John Crane Lips required to manufacture these specific parts. The acquisition, classified under the NAICS code 339991 which covers gasket, packing, and sealing devices manufacturing, seeks delivery of P/N: JCL001228-001 overhaul kits with a Certificate of Conformance to the U.S. Coast Guard Naval Engineering Support Unit in Portsmouth, Virginia, by February 21, 2005. Packaging and marking must comply with commercial standards, and the vendor is asked to provide their best standard commercial warranty in the quotation. Although the solicitation identifies John Crane Lips as the sole source due to proprietary technical data, other interested parties may submit technical information to demonstrate their ability to supply an equivalent product with the same form, fit, and function. The delivery terms are F.O.B. Destination, and the acquisition is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s SFLC Procurement Branch 1 located in Norfolk, Virginia. For further inquiries, the designated contracting officer is Mr. Douglas G. Landau, reachable via email or phone. This purchase aims to ensure that the 210 Class USCG cutters receive the necessary major overhaul components with certified quality and timely delivery to maintain operational readiness.
