Notice of Intent to Award a Sole-Source Purchase Order U.S. Coast Guard Office of Procurement & Contracting (LOG-931) Summary of Requirement The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Office of Procurement & Contracting (LOG-931) Miami Detachment, on behalf of USCG Sector St. Petersburg, FL, intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to Florida Floats, Inc. (DBA: Bellingham Marine). The contractor shall furnish all materials, equipment, and services required to complete critical floating dock electrical repairs at USCG Sector St. Petersburg. Proposed Awardee: Florida Floats, Inc. (DBA: Bellingham Marine) Anticipated Award Value: $34,785.00 Contract Type: Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Applicable NAICS Code: 541330 - Engineering Services Scope of Supplies & Services The contractor is required to deliver and install the following specific electrical components: 350 Linear Feet: New 200 AMP Power Cable to service the North and South Docks. As Required: 4C #1/0 Copper Portable Power Cable to re-feed the North and South Docks. Integration: Tie-in of new cabling to existing circuit breakers (previously feeding the North and South Docks) to power two (2) newly installed pedestals. Regulatory Authority & Justification Because this procurement is valued at $34,785.00, which falls below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), this sole-source action is conducted under the authority of: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) — Soliciting from a Single Source "Contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available..." Technical & Operational Justification ▪ Project Linkage & Technical Continuity This electrical work is directly tied to Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Project Number 22960286 (Replace Floating Dock Sector St. Pete). Bellingham Marine is the active on-site contractor executing the primary floating dock replacement. Performing this electrical work under the current work scope ensures a seamless structural and utility integration, avoiding divided operational liability between separate vendors. ▪ Operational Impact & Urgency Restoring power to the North and South docks is a direct prerequisite for establishing full immediate mission readiness for active boat crews stationed at Sector/Station St. Petersburg. ▪ Administrative & Fiscal Efficiency Procuring this cabling through a separate solicitation or a complex contract modification would introduce substantial administrative delays. Given the modest $34,785.00 project scale, a separate competitive procurement would result in duplicative mobilization costs and delay critical mission operations.
