AI Contract Overview
The contract requires the fabrication and delivery of two 22-inch multi-ply exhaust expansion joints with liners for the USCGC POLAR STAR’s Main Propulsion Generator exhaust system, to be completed and delivered by July 31, 2026, to the vessel’s homeport in Seattle, Washington. The contractor must strictly adhere to the Government-furnished drawing and industry standards including ASTM F1120 and the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association guidelines, using only new materials and ensuring all welds undergo Liquid Penetrant Examination, with a Pneumatic Leak Test permitted instead of hydrostatic testing to preserve internal dry insulation. Each assembly must be equipped with a permanent metallic data plate and a clearly visible directional flow arrow, and include shipping bars painted safety yellow to maintain the 20-inch face-to-face dimension during transit, with explicit instructions for post-installation removal. Quality control must fully comply with ASTM F1120, and each unit must be packaged to prevent damage, distortion, contamination, and corrosion through handling and shipment. The deliverables include the two fully tested and certified expansion joint assemblies along with a Certificate of Conformance for each, and all work must be performed under a total small business set-aside classification. Any deviation from specifications requires prior written Government approval, and discrepancies between the statement of work and referenced drawings must be flagged before proceeding. The solicitation is open under the ID 70Z08526Q026573 with a response deadline of July 17, 2026, and is managed by the Department of Homeland Security’s SFLC Procurement Branch 2 based in Alameda, California, with primary point of contact Donna O’Neal. The contract falls under NAICS code 336611 for ship and boat building, reflecting its specialized marine application.
