The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is soliciting quotes for two specific corrosion-preventing zinc anodes under NSN 5340-01-647-6179 and NSN 5340-01-644-5483, each requiring 100 units manufactured by Galvotec Alloys, Inc. with part number GA-4. The first is a 4-inch diameter circular zinc slab weighing three pounds with a galvanized pipe core, while the second is a 2.5-pound flush-mount zinc anode measuring approximately 2 by 1 by 7 inches with a flat bar core and specific hole spacing.

Any failure to meet these packaging, packing, and marking requirements will result in rejection and return at the vendor’s expense. The solicitation is a small business total set-aside under NAICS code 332999 with a 750-employee size standard and will be awarded as a firm fixed price contract using lowest price technically acceptable evaluation. Vendors must be registered in SAM.gov, possess a valid DUNS number and TIN, and submit complete representations and certifications as required by FAR clauses including 52.212-3, 52.212-4, and 52.212-5.
