SUBJ: MESSAGE UPDATE - COAST GUARD SUPPORT EQUIPMENT CENTRALIZED
MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE
A. Financial Resource Management Manual (FRMM), COMDTINST M7100.3F
B. U.S. Coast Guard Support Equipment - Weight and Material Handling
Program Policy, COMDTINST 11260.1
C. Motor Vehicle Manual, COMDTINST M11240.9D
D. Aviation Ground Support Equipment Process Guide PG-85-00-150-A
E. Coast Guard Configuration Management Policy, COMDTINST 4130.6C
1. Centralized procurement and movement of Support Equipment (SE)
will increase availability and functionality across the enterprise,
while ensuring efficient use of appropriated funds. This message
initiates the next step in centralizing SE procurement review and
approval of all SE valued over ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00).
Note, this guidance does not supersede the direction outlined in
REF (A) regarding Procurement, Construction, and Improvement
resourcing requirements for new investments. IAW REF (B), SE is
defined as a category of equipment required to service, repair, or
troubleshoot an asset. Street legal or highway capable government
vehicles (GVs), whether owned or leased, shall be managed in
accordance with REF (C). Aviation SE outside of the items listed in
paragraph 4 shall be managed IAW REF (D).
2. Effective 11 MAY 2023, units shall utilize the Technical and
Equipment Authorization Request (TEAR) hosted by the Support
Equipment Program to request approval prior to the procurement of
the SE listed in Paragraph 5.
3. The TEAR is located at:

4. All requests to obtain new SE or replace SE listed in this
paragraph will be automatically submitted to the SE Program
Manager or cognizant authority for endorsement. This includes
procurements, MILSTRIP requisitions, and excess transfers when the
excess transfer cost avoidance value exceeds ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00), as well as all attachments or modifications for SE
in the below listing, regardless of dollar value. This ALCOAST
does not apply to tools, jigs, automated manufacturing machines,
or test stands, regardless of value. Aviation SE replacement
requests shall continue to use the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC)
Tech Request Form or Aviation Maintenance Management Information
System (AMMIS) and will be directed to the TEAR by Aviation Ground
Support Equipment (AGSE) when necessary. When replacing or
acquiring new SE, the request shall include all information
required by the TEAR, including material condition; latest
inspection if available; date placed in service; historic and
projected maintenance costs; impact of request denial; alternative
options; justification; collocated unit requirements; cost, and
the type of Support Equipment. Types of Support Equipment include
Aerial Work Platforms; Boat Hoists; Boat Trailers; Construction
Equipment; Cranes; Electric Supply; Mobile Emergency Response
Vehicles; Forklifts; Fuel Trucks/Tankers; Ground Maintenance
Equipment (including Sweepers/Snow Removal/Mowers/Floor
Scrubbers); Hoists (other than boat); Paint Floats; Telehandlers;
Tractors; Aircraft Tow Tractors; Trailers (other than boat); and
Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTV, including golf carts).
Attachments, regardless of value, and modifications for any of the
aforementioned items must be requested for use through a TEAR
request to ensure compliance with REF (E). This will ensure all
configuration changes are evaluated for new requirements,
sustainability, training and qualification, and safety.
5. Initial installation of the following items will be purchased
and installed through Shore Infrastructure Logistics Center (SILC)
infrastructure construction: Fixed Davit lifts/hoists and
Overhead hoist. Recapitalization needs will be
managed by the Civil Engineering program while maintenance
requirements will be managed by the SE program and product line.
Due to the maintenance requirements responsibilities residing with
the SE program, SILC will work with the SE program and product
line as they mature to utilize standardized equipment wherever
practical/possible, including for Fixed Davit lifts/hoists and
Overhead hoists.
6. The Office of Logistics (CG-44) maintains responsibility for
approving the procurement of SE listed above unless otherwise
specified. The Office of Aeronautical Engineering (CG-41)
maintains responsibility for approving the procurement of all SE
not listed above which is specifically designed for use associated
with aviation operations and sustainment. The Office of Naval
Engineering (CG-45) maintains responsibility for approving the
procurement of all SE not listed above which is specifically
designed for use associated with surface operations and
sustainment. The Office of Civil Engineering (CG-43) maintains
responsibility for approving the procurement of all SE not listed
above which is specifically designed for use associated with
shore-side operations and sustainment. All requests will be
accepted by the TEAR system and distributed to the appropriate
COMDT (CG-41), (CG-43), (CG-44), and (CG-45) offices.
7. This message serves as direction during the Coast Guard's shift
to centralized procurement and management of SE. Please contact
the POC identified in this message with any questions.
