CCOUPLING SHAFT ASSEMBLY

The U.S. Coast Guard plans to award a sole source contract to NORFOLK BEARINGS & SUPPLY CO., INC for four units of the COUPLING SHAFT ASSEMBLY, part number CVFS-30S-3.5-BTS, under FAR 13.106-1(b) due to the vendor’s unique status as the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary technical knowledge and specialized capabilities essential to meet operational requirements. No other supplier is capable of delivering a product with the required compatibility, quality, and performance standards, justifying the non-competitive award under current procurement regulations. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 333618 and is being managed by the Sflc Procurement Branch 2 within the Department of Homeland Security, with performance expected at Curtis Bay, Maryland. This notice serves only as a pre-award announcement and is not an invitation for competitive bids; however, any interested party may submit a capability statement by June 1, 2026, to the designated point of contact for evaluation, though submission does not guarantee a competitive solicitation. The government retains full discretion to proceed without competition regardless of any responses received. No reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred in preparing submissions, and inquiries must be made in writing—telephone requests will not be accepted. The procurement office is located in Alameda, California, and all correspondence should be directed to Christopher Huertas-Rolon or Chad Ball via the provided email addresses or phone numbers.
