FMD ALCO Engine Storage and Maintenance Contract

The United States Coast Guard is seeking to award a follow-on requirements-type contract for the storage and maintenance of FME ALCO 18-251F series diesel engines at the Fairbanks Morse Defense facility in Houston, Texas. This contract, which will succeed the existing agreement supporting 270’ SLEP cutters, includes a base year and four optional years, ensuring continued support for the Medium Endurance Cutter Product Line. The contractor must provide secure, indoor storage for a minimum of four complete ALCO 18-251F engines, maintaining them in like-new “A” condition using only original equipment manufacturer certified parts from Fairbanks Morse, LLC. Annual re-preservation is required to ensure engines remain fully operational and ready for immediate deployment in support of both scheduled and unplanned depot and unit-level maintenance on WMEC 270’ cutters. The contract is expected to be awarded on a sole-source basis to Fairbanks Morse Defense as the original equipment manufacturer, leveraging its specialized expertise and direct access to proprietary components and maintenance protocols. The engines must be maintained in a state of readiness to support critical cutter operations without delay, and all work must be performed at the designated Houston repair facility. The acquisition is governed under NAICS code 333618 and falls under no set-aside classification. Point of contact for inquiries includes Mark Lovingood and Monica Paul, with Mia Mayers serving as the Small Business Specialist. No solicitation number or posted date is available at this time, indicating the document is a pre-solicitation forecast.
