- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. There is no solicitation available at this time. This Sources Sought Synopsis is published for Market Research purposes only. The Specialty Center Acquisitions NAVFAC (SCAN) is seeking qualified sources to acquire technical and engineering services for the Operations and Maintenance of the M/V INDEPENDECE in support of the ocean RDT&E and ocean construction programs. The requirements are for vessel operations, maintenance, and logistics support for these efforts. The at-sea tasks involve complex vessel handling, ROV operations, instrumentation and power cable laying, ocean surveys, hydrodynamic tow test (surface and subsurface), loading handling, equipment deployment and recovery, search and recovery operations, and ocean platform tasking utilizing dynamically positioned station keeping, and precise surface and subsurface navigation onboard the Motor Vessel (M/V) INDEPENDENCE, a non-inspected, 200 foot offshore tug/supply vessel. This contract is not simply an effort to "operate a vessel from Port A to Port B". The work involves engineering analysis, complex vessel handling, maneuvering, and load handling. Knowledge of, and experience in, vessel support toward accomplishing at-sea ocean tasks is mandatory. The contractor shall provide a team of technical and crew services necessary to operate the M/V INDEPENDENCE with crew and appropriate supervision to perform support services including operation maintenance management and modifications to the M/V/ INDEPENDENCE and support hardware necessary to support the at-sea tasks. Offerors must be wholly-owned U.S. firms with no Foreign Ownership, Control, or Interest (FOCI) as defined in Section 3 of the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual, DOD 5220.22M. The contractor shall possess a Top Secret facility clearance. Also, 8 of the 11 crew members and contractor's Security Officer shall have a satisfactory Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) completed within the last five years under the provisions of DCID 6/14. The following crew members shall have an SSBI: (1) Master, (2) Master/Mate, (3) Chief Engineer, (4) Assistant Engineer, (5) Cook, (6) Lead Able Body Seamen, (7) Able Body Seaman or Ordinary Seamen, and (8) Assistant Engineer or Seaman of any level. The purpose of this synopsis is to identify interested/qualified sources. The applicable North American Industry Classification Code is 483113, which has a size standard of 500 employees. Only a brief statement of qualifications (not to exceed five (5) pages) is requested at this time. At a minimum, provide the following information in your submittal: 1) Name of company; 2) Name of company's point of contact, your Facility Security Officer (FSO) contact information. Interested sources should review and understand requirements in FAR Part 19 and FAR clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting. 3) A statement of qualifications to include experience relative to this procurement, or any other information that clearly demonstrates the respondents capabilities, expertise and experience to perform the requirements. General marketing material may be included but must fall within the (5) page submittal requirement. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this Sources Sought Synopsis nor will it reimburse the respondent for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. This synopsis does not constitute a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP), or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor does this issuance restrict the Government's acquisition approach. The Government reserves the right to reject in whole or in part any industry input as a result of this announcement. The Government recognizes that proprietary data may be a part of your submittal. If so, clearly mark such restricted or proprietary data and present it as an addendum to the non-restricted/non-proprietary information. All submittals received will be reviewed for informational purposes. SCAN and NFESC reserves the right to independently verify all information submitted. Submit required information to: Kelly Oswalt Kelly.oswalt@navy.mil and Mica Walker mica.walker@navy.mil. Submittals are requested on or before 2, November 2009.
