This document outlines the terms, conditions, and evaluation criteria for U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Solicitation 70Z03826QL0000170. The agency is procuring ten (10) Switch-Pressure units (NSN 5930-01-371-7462, Manufacturer CAGE 09049, P/N 8G1414) with an option for two (2) additional units. This set-aside acquisition for small businesses will be awarded to the responsible offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the government based on a tradeoff process. Proposals will be evaluated using three descending factors of importance: Technical Acceptability, Delivery, and Price, with non-price factors combined carrying more weight than price. Under Technical Acceptability, offerors must provide product compliance evidence, delivery capabilities, OEM authorization or traceability, and note any exceptions. The USCG requires delivery to Elizabeth City, North Carolina, within 90 days after receipt of order (ARO), though early or partial shipments are preferred. The solicitation incorporates various standard Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Homeland Security Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) clauses. Key provisions include strict aviation quality assurance, counterfeiting disclosures, specific non-plastic packaging instructions, and electronic invoicing procedures. Additionally, the document details mandatory federal compliance requirements, such as prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, Kaspersky Lab products, specified foreign unmanned aircraft systems (drones), and restricted business operations in Sudan and Iran. Offerors must hold their pricing firm for 60 calendar days from the submission deadline.
