Description
The U.S. Coast Guard’s Port Security Unit 305 at Fort Eustis, VA, needs immediate repair services for six specialized Prime Mover trucks that support rapid‑response towing and launch of Transportable Port Security Boats. Because only one of the six trucks is mission‑capable, the Coast Guard is issuing a sole‑source procurement to Newport News Ford (Southern Auto Group) – the nearest authorized Ford dealer – to perform diagnostics, maintenance, and parts replacement using manufacturer‑approved components. The goal is to restore the fleet to full operational readiness as quickly as possible, avoiding further mission risk.
• Repair of six Ford Prime Mover trucks (Asset IDs: 428, 429, 430, 431, 575, 441).
• Services include diagnostics, parts replacement, and full mechanical repair to achieve “Fully Mission Capable” status.
• Sole‑source awarded to Southern Auto Group (Ford) in Newport News, VA, due to proximity and exclusive access to OEM parts and trained technicians.
• No competitive bidding, pre‑bid meeting, or site visit required.
• Contract value not disclosed; typical repair costs for heavy‑duty trucks suggest a total spend in the low‑to‑mid five‑figure range.
