Open, Inspect, Repair Wench Sets

The U.S. Coast Guard issued a sole‑source notice of intent to award a contract to Allied Systems Company for the “Open, Inspect, Repair” of winch (spelled “Wench” in the notice) sets. The work requires the vendor to open the winch replacement kits, conduct a thorough inspection, and submit a detailed report on condition and compliance. This is a small‑scale, technical repair service performed under FAR 13.106‑1(b) because the vendor possesses proprietary knowledge and unique capabilities. The solicitation does not include a competitive bidding process; however, other parties may submit capability statements for consideration. Key points include: • Sole‑source award to Allied Systems Company based on unique expertise. • Scope limited to opening, inspecting, and reporting on winch sets—no installation or long‑term maintenance. • Deadline for capability statements is 1 September 2026; no budget or performance dates are disclosed.
