BACKGROUND The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is conducting market research to support a full repower of a 36 Arctic Landing Craft at the USCG Industrial Production Facility (IPF) in Ketchikan, AK. The anticipated requirement includes the procurement and delivery of twin Volvo Penta D4 main propulsion diesel engines (270 HP), DPI transmissions (Ratio 1.85:1), Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) kits, and all associated wiring, cooling, and mounting hardware necessary to form a complete and compatible propulsion system. The Government requires all parts to be in new condition, sourced from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an authorized distributor, with delivery to Ketchikan, AK, by September 1, 2026. 3. OBJECTIVE The objective of this RFI is to gather industry feedback on the attached draft Statement of Work (SOW) ahead of the anticipated solicitation. The Government seeks to refine its requirements, understand the availability and lead times of the specified commercial items, identify potential barriers to competition, and assess the capabilities of authorized OEM vendors in the current marketplace. 4. REQUESTED INFORMATION Interested parties are requested to review the attached draft SOW and provide feedback by addressing the following questions: Clarity and Accuracy: Are the requirements, part numbers, and specifications outlined in the SOW clear and accurate? Are there any known discrepancies or obsolete parts listed in Section 5 of the draft SOW? System Completeness: The SOW requires the Contractor to identify and provide any ancillary parts or hardware not explicitly listed but required by the OEM for proper installation and operation. Does this requirement pose any bidding or pricing challenges? Delivery and Lead Times: The required delivery date is September 1, 2026, to Ketchikan, AK. Based on current supply chain conditions for the specified Volvo Penta D4 engines and associated DPI outdrives, is this schedule realistic? If not, what is a standard estimated lead time?
