- Description
- The Government intends to solicit and negotiate on a sole source basis with Wartsila Defense, Inc, 3617 Koppens Way, Chesapeake, Virginia for the following requirement: One (1) Set VCM Control Card Upgrade Set with 2 Rail Mounting Drive Cards; One (1) each Spare Valve Drive Card; One (1) each Printcard (P/N W006927856; One (1) Printcard, LMM Plus Software P/N W006927731; two (2) each Dimmer, R15 P/N W006912301; two (2) each Pressure Gauge, P/N T003000749; two (2) each Printcard, EXP, P/N W006927796; and One (1) job Service Technician to accomplish VCM Control Card Upgrade for the NOAA ship RONALD H. BROWN, 1050 Register Street, Charleston, South Carolina 29405. In order to comply with the debt collection improvement act of 1966, all contractors must be registered in the central contractor registration (CCR) to be considered for an award of a federal contract. For information regarding registration in CCR contact the CCR website at www.ccr.gov/index.cfm. The FSC for this is 1990 and the NAICS Code is 336611, small business size standard is 1,000 employees. The government intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order for this requirement. The NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown has two (2) each LIPS thrusters for main propulsion. The controls for these units were designed and built by Lips, Inc (now Wartsila Defense, Inc). These controls contain printed circuit cards that also made by Wartsila Defense, Inc. Wartsila is the only source for these control cards. These control cards control the steering of the ship. If NOAA were to pay to have the control cards replacements designed by another vendor just for the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown, NOAA would bear the that entire additional cost. If the control cards fail and replacement cards are not available the ship would be dead in the water, resulting in the loss of valuable sea days and the safety of crew and vessel would be in jeopardy. The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 6.302(c)(1). Interested parties may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency. However, all proposals received by 2:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time, March 6, 2009 will be considered by the government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. Evidence must be provided of ability to provide the required control cards. Responses to this notice, if any must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the government. Inquiries will only be accepted via email to Robin.Resweber@noaa.gov.
