52000QR260000062 USCGC CULBERTSON FIRE PANEL SERVICE

This contract involves providing specialized fire panel maintenance and technical support for the US Coast Guard Cutter Edgar Culbertson, located in Galveston, Texas. The primary focus is on troubleshooting and repairing the Mircom Pro-2000 Fire Detection Panel, which is a discontinued system requiring expert knowledge for effective repair. The scope of work includes deploying certified technicians to the cutter from October 29 to 31, 2025, to perform necessary repairs, with all required equipment and safety measures in place. The contract emphasizes compliance with safety, environmental, and base access regulations, and includes provisions for warranty coverage on replaced parts for one year. The procurement is set aside exclusively for small businesses under the SBA's total small business set-aside program, with the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Procurement managing the process. The justification for this sole-source contract highlights the urgent need for repair due to system inoperability and the lack of OEM support from Mircom, making it necessary to engage Coastal Fire Protection, LLC, the original installer, to ensure rapid and reliable repair services. The estimated value of the procurement is approximately $4,500, with the contract awarded through simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.106-1(b). The contract's place of performance is at the cutter's homeport, and the primary points of contact include Timothy Ford and Joshua Miller, who can be reached via email and phone for coordination. This arrangement underscores the urgency and specialized nature of the work, ensuring the Coast Guard's fire detection system is restored efficiently and reliably.
