SOW for Caterpillar 3406 parts kits

This solicitation is restricted to Caterpillar Authorized Parts & Service Centers only.

The U.S. Coast Guard is completing a long block exchange of a Caterpillar 3406 engine used as a ship service diesel generator onboard CGC ALERT

As we have been using CAT long block (OEM reman) replacement engines for some time now there isn’t a serial number associated to each engine any longer. Please use the attached parts list for component identification information.

All components must be OEM (Caterpillar) new stock or remanufactured components. We are not requesting any technical support or assistance with this project.

The kit must be delivered complete to the vessels homeport during the week of 12 August 2024. Delivery prior to this week is undesirable due to limited storage space. Delivery can’t be made after this week as it will negatively impact our project timeline. The shipping documents must include both a copy of our parts list with any updated part number information noted to eliminate confusion for inventory purposes.

The updated shipping address for this vessel is:

COMMANDING OFFICER

CAPE CANAVERAL, FL 32920

The vendor is responsible for return shipment of the cores from the vessel’s location to their facility. The vendor must provide written instructions for the core return process.

We will notify the vendor when the cores are ready for shipment so they can dispatch a carrier to pick up the material.

NOTE: The vendor has 45 days after the return/receipt of cores to account for, inspect, & either accept or reject them in writing via an invoice. If the vendor has not provided a written status on core returns before the end of this period, we will not be held finically responsible for core charges as a result of any missing, incomplete, or unacceptable items.

As all parts are required to be OEM certified, the vendor will provide a 1,000 hour or 12-month warranty period. This warranty period will apply to all components listed in the long block parts kit. This warranty will require the vendor to provide all parts & labor as needed to correct for any component failure that might occur. The warranty period will start upon our receipt of the kit.
