The contracting activity falls under the Department of Homeland Security through the United States Coast Guard, with performance expected to occur in Akron, Ohio. Point of contact for the procurement is Maggie Cox, reachable via email and phone, while Justin Midgett serves as the Small Business Specialist and APFS Coordinator, providing administrative and compliance support. No set-aside provisions are applicable, and the solicitation is being handled on a non-competitive basis due to the exclusive nature of the component and the OEM's sole authority to supply it.
