- Description
- The Coast Guard is seeking qualified sources that can perform the inspection, repair, testing and report of Mine Safety Appliance (MSA) Self Contained Breathing Apparatuses (SCBA). This will be a requirements type contract with one (1) base year and three (3) option years. The MSA SCBA’s are used on all 245 Coast Guard Cutters. This will be other than full and open competition to certified CARE Facilities/Personnel. The work shall be performed in accordance with MSA testing and repair specifications, Coast Guard Commandant Requirements and federal law. All parts to be furnished and used with the repair shall be new (OEM) MSA parts. Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to MSA parts are not available to the Government and are propriety to the OEM. Accordingly, it is believe that this non-availability of technical data precludes the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center from obtaining competition as they are available from MSA. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning their capability to supply the parts for the purpose of the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The procurement involves CARE certified personnel and parts being procured from the prime equipment manufacturer or its actual supplier. Organizations having the expertise and required capabilities to provide the items and service are invited to submit complete information discussion such capabilities as follows: (i.e. salient physical functional and serviceability characteristics) (1) show that they satisfactorily manufactured the parts for the Government or the prime equipment manufacturer; or (2) submit complete and current engineering data comparing the offered parts to the OEM to demonstrate the acceptability of the parts. It is the Government’s belief that only MSA and/or its authorized dealers and distributors can furnish the required parts and services and ensure the proper fit, form and function of all its components. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above items are invited to submit complete information discussing capabilities in duplicate within fifteen (15) days of this announcement. No cost or pricing information is required. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government does not intend to pay for this information solicited. Responses shall be concise and be specifically directed to the requirement mentioned above. Concerns that respond to the notice must fully demonstrate their capabilities to meet the requirements. Adequate detailed data by which to evaluate capabilities should be sent to the attention of Sharon Jackson, Contract Specialist at Sharon.J.Jackson@uscg.mil or Commanding Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center, 2401 Hawkins Point Rd., Bldg. 31, 2nd Floor, Baltimore, MD 21226.
