Sole Source - Open, Inspect, Repair

The U.S. Coast Guard, through the Sflc Procurement Branch 2, intends to award a sole source contract to RAM WINCH & HOIST for an Open, Inspect, Repair service under FAR 13.106-1(b), acknowledging that only this vendor has the proprietary knowledge, technical expertise, and specialized capabilities necessary to meet the agency’s requirements with the required compatibility, quality, and performance. No other supplier has been identified that can fulfill these needs, and the procurement is not open to competition unless a capable alternative is proven through submitted capability statements. The contract is associated with NAICS code 811310 and is being managed by the Department of Homeland Security, with performance and administrative functions centered in Alameda, California. Interested parties may submit capability statements by the deadline of July 23, 2026, to the point of contact, Chad Ball, but such submissions are solely for the government’s evaluation of potential competition and do not guarantee a shift to a competitive process. No reimbursement will be provided for costs incurred in preparing or submitting information, and inquiries must be made in writing—telephone requests will not be accepted. This notice does not constitute a solicitation, and the decision to proceed without competition rests entirely with the government. The solicitation number is 70Z08526N49018B00, and all details are accessible via the provided SAM.gov link.
