AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is conducting market research through a sources sought notice to explore potential replacements for its current fleet of 16 Colgate 26 sail training boats used for cadet training and inter-collegiate racing. The requirement seeks a fiberglass, fractional sloop-rigged keel boat no longer than 27 feet, with a maximum draft of five feet and beam of nine feet, designed for day use with a crew capacity of up to six people. The vessel must be durable and able to withstand rigorous training, yet user-friendly and stable enough for basic sail instruction while still performing competitively in races. The Coast Guard is not soliciting bids or awarding contracts at this stage; this request is solely for information gathering to assist in future planning and potential procurement. Respondents are asked to provide market brochures or relevant sailboat specifications, contact information, socio-economic status, and DUNS numbers by June 22, 2011. This information will help determine if the contract should be set aside for HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, or Small Business concerns. The potential purchase could occur in fiscal year 2011 if funding and procurement timelines allow. Questions and information submissions are to be directed to designated contracting officers at the Coast Guard's HQ Contract Operations office. This effort is strictly for market analysis with no financial obligation on the government’s part and no guarantees of solicitation issuance or contract award.
