Summary

AI-generated · Feb 05, 2026

The Coast Guard’s Surface Forces Logistics Center intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to Appleton Marine, Inc. for service on the USCGC SYCAMORE to address a failed swing-drive encoder that currently prevents the crane from slewing, since it no longer outputs the required 12-bit grayscale data used to determine the crane’s position within its 360-degree range.

Appleton Marine will install government-furnished parts (including a multi-turn ethernet encoder and related hardware), program the new encoder, recalibrate the crane systems, and conduct on-site testing to verify safe, full operation. Work will be performed aboard USCGC SYCAMORE at NAVSTA Newport, RI, over a two-day period coordinated with the ship’s Engineer Officer. This procurement follows commercial item procedures under FAR 12/13, and no solicitation documents exist; responses should demonstrate clear, compelling evidence that competition would be advantageous.

STATEMENT OF WORK Project Title: USCGC SYCAMORE Crane Swing Drive Encoder Service Contractor: Appleton Marine Inc. Unit: USCGC SYCAMORE 1. Background The Appleton Crane's slew function is inoperative. Troubleshooting has identified a failure in the swing drive encoder, which is not providing the necessary 12-bit grayscale binary data output.

This project is required to replace the defective components and restore full, safe operational capability to the crane. This Statement of Work outlines the services to be provided by Appleton Marine Inc. aboard the USCGC SYCAMORE (WLB-209). The contractor will be responsible for the installation of new parts, programming, and recalibration of the crane's swing drive encoder and associated systems. 2.
