Service Locks @ MCOE

The contractor is required to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and transportation necessary to inspect, repair, and replace door locks at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy’s MCOE facility in New London, Connecticut. All work must ensure that locks operate smoothly and reliably without binding, sticking, excessive force, or recurring lockouts, adhering strictly to manufacturer guidelines and industry standards. The scope includes diagnosing root causes of failure, re-keying cylinders, adjusting hardware, and restoring work areas to their original condition. Performance must occur Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., excluding federal holidays, to avoid disrupting Coast Guard operations. Inspection and acceptance occur on-site at the facility upon completion, with final approval resting with the Government’s Technical Advisor. The acquisition is structured as a Firm Fixed Price contract under the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method, meaning award will be made to the lowest-priced offeror whose proposal meets all technical requirements on a pass/fail basis. There is no trade-off between cost and technical performance—price is the sole differentiating factor among technically acceptable bids. The solicitation is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 238290, with a size standard of $19.5 million in annual receipts, restricting eligibility to small businesses only. Offerors must submit proposals exclusively via email by 8:00 a.m. EST on July 1, 2026, with a mandatory site visit required on June 29, 2026, prior to submission. Proposals must include a one-page cover sheet with the UEI, CAGE number, and point of contact, formatted in 11-point or larger font. Compliance with numerous FAR clauses is mandatory, including those covering prohibited products (Kaspersky Lab, Huawei, ZTE), whistleblower protections, anti-kickback procedures, payment by electronic funds transfer via the Invoice Processing Platform, and avoidance of contingent fees. The contractor must also affirm compliance with the Buy American Act for commercial items, ensure child labor and human trafficking protections, and flow down the whistleblower clause to all subcontractors. No packaging, marking, or FOB terms are specified beyond general applicability of FAR clauses. Payment must be requested electronically through IPP, and no WAWF usage is permitted. The Technical Advisor, Jed Couture, serves as the primary point of contact for coordination and inspection but cannot modify contract terms. Access to
