SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT

The United States Coast Guard’s Surface Forces Logistics Centers in Oakland, CA, plans to award a sole source contract to Wartsila Defense, Inc. for the procurement and installation of a shaft seal, according to the attached scope of work which includes two options. The period of performance is scheduled from November 26 to 30, 2018, with the work performed at the CGC Bertholf on Coast Guard Island, Alameda, CA. This acquisition is governed under NAICS code 336611, and the contract will be awarded without a formal written solicitation as authorized under FAR 6.302, with the government intending to negotiate directly with Wartsila Defense, Inc. Interested parties must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and can submit expressions of interest or proposals by 8:00 AM PST on November 19, 2018, though the government retains sole discretion on whether to compete the contract based on responses received. Questions regarding this procurement must be submitted in writing to the designated Purchasing Agent, Barry Meyer, via email. The contracting office is located at 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, CA. Past performance evaluations will be conducted at the specified installation location. This notice is not a request for competitive proposals but rather an intent to negotiate a sole source contract under the established provisions. Additional points of contact include Michelle Garcia, also a purchasing agent for this procurement. The overall intent is to ensure timely replacement of the shaft seal to maintain operational readiness of Coast Guard assets.
