Evolution Trailer Technologies, Inc. Trailer Parts One-Time Buy

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a sole-source purchase order to Evolution Trailer Technologies, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, for a one-time acquisition of OEM trailer parts to maintain its fleet of 370 Evolution trailers used to transport 29' Response Boat-Small vessels. This acquisition is authorized under Simplified Acquisition Procedures and justified under FAR 12.102(a) due to the exclusive possession of proprietary technical data by the OEM, which prevents third parties from manufacturing compatible parts. The procurement leverages a Class Deviation and a National Emergency declaration at the Southern Border under Executive Order 14156 and ALCOAST 143/25, which temporarily raises the Simplified Acquisition Threshold to $1 million for contingency-related operations. The contract is designated a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, with the vendor confirmed as a small business concern with UEI KHP5TG6X1GD9 and NAICS code 336212. Performance occurs at the vendor’s facility in Fort Myers, Florida, where delivery of conforming OEM components is required to ensure operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s boat transport fleet. Price reasonableness was established through market research and comparison to prior purchases, as no competitive bidding was possible. No formal contract clauses, inspection locations, packaging standards, or payment details are specified in the available documentation, reflecting the streamlined nature of the commercial item acquisition. The contracting office is located in Baltimore, Maryland, with primary point of contact Andrew D. Kropkowski and secondary contact Derek W. Lazaroff. The purchase order has no options, extensions, or recurring elements and is structured as a single-delivery transaction under the solicitation number 70Z04026P51427B00, issued on May 27, 2026.
