The United States Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center requires 20 units of a specific Siemens programmable logic controller (PLC), part number 6ES7214-1HG40-0XB0. The government anticipates awarding a non-competitive, sole-source purchase order, believing only Siemens AG Automation and Drives or its authorized distributors can provide this item. Interested parties must submit a quotation via email and must include a letter from the OEM verifying they are an authorized distributor and that genuine parts will be supplied. The award will be made on a lowest price, technically acceptable, firm fixed-price basis to a single responsible offeror. All items must be individually packaged in strict accordance with specified military packaging standards, or the quote will be rejected.
