Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is seeking quotations for 50 DETECTOR, GAS units (MFG: GEOPAL SYSTEM A/S, PART_NBR: GP-SA). These detectors are a component of the 154' Fast Response Cutter's refrigeration system. This is a Total Small Business Set-Aside opportunity. Quotations are due by May 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for 50 gas detectors, specifically the GEOPAL SYSTEM A/S GP-SA model. While a brand name part is mandatory for consideration, offers of "equal" products will be evaluated based on meeting specified salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics. A critical aspect of this requirement is strict adherence to packaging, packing, marking, and bar-coding standards, including MIL-STD-2073-1E Method 10, ASTM-D5118 double-wall fiberboard box, MIL-STD-129R marking, and ISO/IEC-16388-2007 Code 39 symbology. Standard commercial packaging is unacceptable, and failure to meet these requirements will result in rejection.
