The U.S. Coast Guard needs a small business to manufacture and package gaskets, nozzles, and ignitors for its steam boilers and ships heaters.
Key Details
- What exactly do they need? The Coast Guard needs gaskets, nozzles, and ignitors for its steam boilers and ships heaters.

The Coast Guard is looking for a responsible offeror who can provide the required parts in the specified quantities.
- What's the contract structure and timeline? The Coast Guard intends to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract on an all-or-none basis. The contract will be awarded based on the lowest price technically acceptable.
