Quick Summary
The United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is soliciting quotations for five TUBE SHEET FLUID COOLER INDUST units, specifically the Alfa Laval Inc. M3-FG model. This opportunity is a Total Small Business Set-Aside and will result in a Firm Fixed-Price purchase order. The award will be made on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, all or none.

Scope of Work
The requirement is for five (5) TUBE SHEET FLUID COOLER INDUST units, identified by NIIN 4420 01-622-9852, manufactured by ALFA LAVAL INC. with PART_NBR: M3-FG. These coolers are intended for the 270 WMEC / 154 WPC FIN STABILIZER HPU OIL COOLER, HEAT EXCHANGER (APL 525M2Y60A2). While the brand name part is mandatory for consideration, offers of "equal" products will be accepted if they meet the specified salient physical, functional, or performance characteristics.
A critical aspect of this requirement is strict adherence to packaging, marking, and bar-coding standards. Items must be individually packaged in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1E Method 10, cushioned, and packed in an ASTM-D5118 double-wall fiberboard box. Marking must comply with MIL-STD-129R, with bar-coding per ISO/IEC-16388-2007, Code 39 symbology. Failure to meet these requirements will result in warehouse rejection. Vendors unable to perform this packaging themselves may use a third party, provided additional costs are included in the quotation.
