Open, Inspect of MONITOR, SMART BILGE CELL

The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source contract to COMPASS WATER SOLUTIONS, INC for the open, inspect, and report of the MONITOR, SMART BILGE CELL, part number BARE0940, under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b), which permits non-competitive procurement when only one responsible source can meet the agency’s requirements. COMPASS WATER SOLUTIONS, INC is the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary knowledge and specialized technical capabilities essential to ensure compatibility, quality, and performance of the SMART BILGE CELL, and no other vendor has been identified that can fulfill the requirement to the same standard. The procurement is not a competitive solicitation, but any interested party may submit a capability statement by June 9, 2026, to the designated point of contact in Alameda, CA; however, such submissions are solely for the government’s consideration in determining whether to pursue competition and will not result in reimbursement of costs. The NAICS code for this action is 811310, and no set-aside provisions apply. The contracting office is the SFLC Procurement Branch 2 under the Department of Homeland Security, with the solicitation number 70Z08526N39023B00 and line item 2040 01-600-0112 indicating a quantity of 14 units, though no unit price, total contract value, or funding codes are provided. The place of performance is linked to Alameda, CA, but delivery, inspection, and acceptance locations are not explicitly defined, and no packaging, marking, invoicing, payment, or inspection criteria are detailed in the documentation. No standard contract clauses, evaluation factors, representations, certifications, or special requirements such as security clearances, key personnel, or options are included, as the procurement is structured as a simplified, non-competitive acquisition relying entirely on the vendor’s OEM status and exclusive technical expertise.
