USCGC Issac Mayo Lagging Re-Insulation

The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Florida Floats, Inc. DBA Bellingham Marine for $34,785.00 to perform critical electrical repairs on floating docks at Sector St. Petersburg, Florida. The work includes installing 350 linear feet of new 200 AMP power cable, supplying and connecting 4C #1/0 copper portable power cables as needed, and integrating the new cabling with existing circuit breakers to power two newly installed pedestals on the North and South docks. The procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to its value below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold and the unique technical and operational circumstances that limit viable sources. Bellingham Marine is already on-site executing the primary floating dock replacement under DLA Project 22960286, making it the only entity with the necessary continuity, familiarity with the infrastructure, and existing mobilization to ensure seamless integration of electrical systems without operational delays or fragmented responsibility. The restoration of power is essential for immediate mission readiness of active boat crews stationed at the sector, and conducting a competitive procurement would introduce unacceptable administrative delays and duplicative mobilization costs for a project of this scale. Any interested party may respond to the notice by demonstrating that competition would be advantageous, not cost or time prohibitive, and would not hinder mission objectives, but the Government retains full discretion to proceed solely with Bellingham Marine. The contract falls under NAICS Code 541330 for Engineering Services, with performance located in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and the primary point of contact is Jerry Lopez at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Miami Detachment.
