The U.S. Coast Guard needs a small business to replace a backflow preventer at its base in San Pedro, CA.

Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The Coast Guard needs a contractor to replace a 6-inch backflow preventer at Building 21 on the USCG Base Los Angeles Long Beach in San Pedro, CA. The contractor must remove the existing backflow preventer, install a new 6-inch Wilkins 475 ASTR backflow preventer assembly, and install two new OSY valves. The contractor must also conduct testing to ensure proper operation.
  • What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a one-year warranty on all materials, equipment, and workmanship. The work hours are Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, excluding federal holidays.
  • How will they pick the winner? The government will award a contract to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government. Past performance and technical capability are considered more important than price alone.
  • When and how do you bid? Bids should be submitted to the Contracting Officer, Mr. Ryan H. King, by July 18, 2026, at 3:59 AM. Bids should include a detailed cost breakdown for labor and materials, as well as past performance records for consideration.
