Notice of intent to award computing hardware to support propulsion systems upgrades

The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source contract to NAG, LLC for the provision of computing hardware to support propulsion systems upgrades. The contract includes the delivery of six MilAxon 4000 rugged standalone computers, two 19-inch operator interface panels with integrated MilAxon 4000 computers, and associated mounting kits and field-side connector kits. The total estimated value of the contract is $108,328.00. The Coast Guard believes that NAG, LLC is the sole source that can fulfill this requirement due to their status as the sole retailer for Rugged Machines and authorized distributor for this specialized OEM equipment.
