The federal request for proposal (RFP) seeks to procure three diesel engine generator sets, each with a minimum output of 350 kW and designed for compliance with EPA Marine Tier 3 emissions standards. The generators must fit specific size constraints and have an expected fuel consumption of approximately 22.7 gallons per hour at full load. Vendors are encouraged to provide options for parallel operation and must follow American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) standards for maritime classification.
A minimum service life of 20 years is required, along with detailed service and parts availability in Kodiak, AK. The generators must be NATO fuel compatible, equipped with heat exchanger cooling systems, and capable of air-start operations.
Vendors are asked to submit information on the alternator design, control systems, and datalogging capabilities, as well as a factory acceptance test plan. Additionally, a rough order of magnitude (ROM) price for the complete generator set is requested, including specifications on performance and efficiency metrics. Overall, the RFP emphasizes regulatory compliance, serviceability, and longevity, aligning with government procurement standards for technical specifications and service guarantees.

The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis to gauge interest in procuring and retrofitting three marine diesel generator sets for the CGC Alex Haley, currently equipped with outdated generators. The new generators must have a minimum capacity of 350 kW and be compatible with existing systems onboard the vessel, which is homeported in Kodiak, AK. The specified requirements include adherence to various marine electrical standards and environmental regulations, particularly for emissions. Key technical details include dimensions, fuel consumption, service life, and the necessity for compatibility with NATO fuel specifications. Vendors are asked to demonstrate capabilities to supply and maintain the generators in Kodiak, and to submit formal responses by April 24, 2025. While this is not a solicitation for bids, it lays the groundwork for a future Request for Proposal, making it crucial for potential suppliers to monitor the market and prepare relevant proposals based on the detailed specifications provided.
