USCG SFLC Patrol Boat Product Line, Supply Branch 154’WPC Propulsion Shaft Bearings and Associated Component Purchase

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Surface Forces Logistics Center, Patrol Boat Product Line, is seeking to procure propulsion shaft bearings and related components for 154-foot Fast Response Cutter (WPC) patrol boats. These parts must be manufactured according to the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) drawings and technical specifications, with Duramax Marine, LLC identified as the sole source supplier due to brand name requirements and previous procurement experience. Quantities and specific parts will be detailed in contract delivery orders, with all ordered items intended for system stock rather than immediate installation. The components must be preserved to prevent rust and corrosion for up to two years and individually packaged, labeled, bar-coded, and shipped on an F.O.B. destination basis to the USCG Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland. The contract anticipates that vendors will have the capacity for global shipping to USCG facilities, vessels, or contracted repair sites worldwide, ensuring flexibility in delivery. The solicitation has no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 326291. The main point of contact for this requirement is Wayne Nickel, with small business coordination handled by Mia Mayers. The procurement process is expected to follow a sole-source approach due to the need for OEM-specific, brand name components from Duramax Marine, facilitating the direct acquisition of critical propulsion system parts to support ongoing maintenance and operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s patrol boats.
