Quick Summary
The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard, Base Seattle intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Quigg Bros, Inc. for the urgent repair of a metal brow connecting to a floating pier at USCG Station Grays Harbor, Westport, WA. This Special Notice is issued under FAR 6.302-1 ("Only One Responsible Source") and Simplified Acquisition Procedures (FAR 13.106-1(b)). While designated as a Total Small Business Set-Aside, this is not a request for competitive quotes.

Purpose & Context
The repair is critical due to storm-related damage to the brow's hinge points, which has caused detachment and misalignment. This damage prevents the unit from safely accessing the main servicing dock, severely impacting its mission capability for search and rescue operations by hindering fueling and shore power services. The justification emphasizes the urgency due to safety and operational readiness degradation.

The project requires the contractor to:
- Temporarily suspend and realign the damaged brow.
