Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Deputy Commandant for Systems (DCS), on behalf of the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) for market research purposes. This RFI seeks to identify sources capable of providing all labor, supervision, materials, and equipment to procure, deliver, and install a new boiler condensate salinity monitoring system on the USCGC HEALY (WAGB-20), homeported in Seattle, WA. Responses are due by March 20, 2026, at 4:00 PM EDT.
Purpose
This notice is solely for market research to understand industry capability and does not constitute a solicitation or request for proposals. The Government will not award a contract based on responses to this RFI.
Scope of Work
The anticipated requirement involves replacing an obsolete McNab MC-81 salinity cell system with a new, Government-specified Burkert system. Key tasks include:
- Procurement, delivery, and installation of two (2) Burkert 8619 Multicell Controllers and two (2) Burkert 8220 Conductivity Sensors.
- Removal and disposal of the existing McNab MC-81 units.
- Custom fabrication and welding of mounting hardware in Auxiliary Machinery Room #1.
- Shipboard electrical work and full system integration with the ship’s Machinery Plant Control and Monitoring System (MPCMS).
- Adaptation of new sensors to existing 1-1/4 inch NPT fittings using Burkert S020 adapters.
- Configuration of controllers for a 0-20 µS/cm analog output range and setting a high salinity alarm to 0.2 Grains Per Gallon (GPG).
- Calibration of conductivity sensors and a comprehensive operational test.
- System familiarization and training for the ship's crew.
- Submission of as-installed wiring diagrams and a final Condition Found Report (CFR).
