How to bid on wiper assemblies for the US Coast Guard

What the Coast Guard is buying

The US Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center is seeking quotes for 10 inboard heated wiper assemblies with pantographic arms, part number KS-9261, and 10 wiper controllers, part number KS-9283. This is a request for quotation for commercial items, and a separate written solicitation will not be issued.

The Coast Guard anticipates a firm-fixed-price purchase order. It will consider completeness, ability to meet the requested delivery timeframe, and price. Freight must be included in the total cost, and FOB destination is required.

Key dates and delivery

The opportunity was published October 19, 2026. Quotes are due October 31, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET. The notice says timely quotes from responsible sources will be considered.

Delivery is requested by November 10, 2026, to the Coast Guard facility at 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Receiving Room, Building 58, Baltimore, Maryland 21226. Deliveries are to be made Monday through Friday, between 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity may suit suppliers of marine or other wiper equipment that can provide the specified assemblies and controllers, quote a complete requirement, and meet the requested delivery date.

Vendors must have an active SAM.gov registration or provide proof that they submitted their entity for registration. If offering substitutions, include a specification sheet for the Coast Guard to evaluate compatibility.

Prepare a quote that identifies your entity and point of contact, and lists a unit price, line total, and estimated delivery date for each item. Include freight in the total cost and provide SAM.gov registration or submission proof. Some drawings may be export-controlled and require Joint Certification Program registration through DLA to receive them.

Prepare a complete, competitive quote

Check that your quote covers both quantities and the stated part numbers, and clearly show whether you can meet the requested delivery date. If proposing a substitution, attach its specification sheet so the agency can assess compatibility.

Account for destination freight and the required shipping and packaging conditions. The notice calls for an itemized packing list attached to the outside of the shipment, marking and barcoding, and packaging that protects the items during shipment and storage.

The notice says invoices for purchase orders are processed through IPP. It asks vendors without an IPP account to indicate that when responding so the issuing office can establish one.
