Quick Summary
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), under the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify domestic manufacturers of Ductless-Split Heating and Air Conditioning Systems that are compliant with the Buy American Act. This includes Mini-Split, Multi-Split, and VRF/VRV systems. Responses are due by March 11, 2026.
Scope of Work
The USCG seeks information on the domestic availability of Ductless-Split Heating and A/C Systems, specifically those manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of satisfactory quality. The systems are categorized as:
- Mini-Split: Single outdoor unit, single indoor unit, typically for single-zone cooling/heating.
- Multi-Split: Single outdoor unit, multiple indoor units for independent temperature zones, but all units must operate in the same mode (heating/cooling).
- VRF/VRV: Similar to multi-split but allows simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones, offering higher efficiency and complexity.
To be considered domestically manufactured, all manufacturing processes must occur in the U.S., and the cost of U.S.-origin components must exceed 65% of the total component cost.
