IBCTSUP-RED GEAR OVERHAUL PARTS AND TECH SERVICES
HOMELAND SECURITY, DEPARTMENT OF.US COAST GUARD.CG-SEA-C22 · Response deadline: Thu, 05 Nov 2026
What the government is buying
The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking parts and technical services for overhaul of "Red Gear" equipment. The specific title—"IBCTSUP-RED GEAR OVERHAUL PARTS AND TECH SERVICES"—indicates this is a supply and services contract supporting vessel or marine machinery maintenance. The classification code 3010 indicates engines, turbines, and components, which aligns with mechanical overhaul work.
In Coast Guard operations, gear overhaul typically involves inspection, repair, refurbishment, or replacement of critical machinery components to extend service life and maintain operational readiness. The "IBCTSUP" prefix suggests this may relate to Integrated Business Contracting Support or a specific program office designation within Coast Guard Surface Engineering and Logistics (CG-SEA-C22).

NAICS 333613 corresponds to "Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing." This classification covers establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing mechanical power transmission equipment (except motor vehicle and aircraft), including gears, gearboxes, speed changers, and industrial clutch and brake systems.
Who can bid
This solicitation is full and open competition with no small business set-aside. Any responsible offeror—large or small business—may submit a bid. Because NAICS 333613 has no set-aside, the Coast Guard will evaluate all qualified offerors without preference based on business size.
Small businesses may still compete. However, they will not receive price evaluation preferences or set-aside protection. If your business manufactures or supplies mechanical power transmission components, or provides technical overhaul services for industrial gearing systems, you may have relevant capabilities.
How to put together a competitive bid
Focus on technical capabilities and traceability. Gear overhaul for Coast Guard equipment demands precision. Your bid should demonstrate:
- OEM relationships or proven sourcing channels for Red Gear-specific components. Coast Guard machinery often requires exact replacement parts meeting military or marine specifications.
- Technical service documentation showing your overhaul processes, quality assurance protocols, and testing procedures. Include past performance on similar mechanical power transmission overhauls, preferably in marine or federal environments.
- Marine environment expertise. Saltwater, vibration, and continuous-duty cycles impose unique stresses on gear systems. Highlight corrosion-resistant treatments, sealing technologies, or coatings you employ.
Pricing strategy. In full and open competition, cost and price realism are critical. Structure your proposal to show:
- Detailed material costs with vendor quotes where possible
- Labor hours by skill category for technical services
- Understanding of surge or phased delivery requirements
Certifications to review. Verify whether the solicitation requires ISO 9001, AS9100, or specific Coast Guard approved vendor status. Your quality management system may be evaluated.
