- NVR Request Process Update Regarding Solicitation Attachments Limited Access/Export Controlled Attachments to Solicitation Some of the attachments to the OPC Solicitation have been determined to be subject to Export Control limitations as well as are marked with Distribution Statement C. These items will be posted to FBO along with the OPC Solicitation, but they will be deemed "limited access" and "export controlled" packages within the system. Vendors will require to be granted "explicit access" by the USCG to the documents via the FBO system. Additionally, in order to access these documents, vendors must be certified as a US or Canadian contractor by the Joint Certification Program (JCP) administered by the Defense Logistic Information Service (DLIS). Instructions and procedures for being certified by JCP can be found at http://www.dlis.dla.mil/jcp/. Only those vendors that have current certification by JCP will be able to be granted explicit access to these packages by the USCG. All vendors must go through this request process via FBO for access to the limited access, export controlled packages. Previous clearances granted by the USCG via emails associated with the draft solicitation are not transferable to this system. The USCG does not intend to grant vendors access to these documents outside of the FBO site. Naval Vessel Rules (NVR) Additionally, the USCG intends to require that the OPC will be classed to American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Naval Vessel Rules (NVR) (with CG Addendum), January 2010 edition. Shipyards interested in preparing proposals in response to the forthcoming OPC Solicitation will need to have access to NVR in order to understand the full scope of OPC requirements. Instructions for obtaining NVR access are detailed in the document entitled "NVR Request Process" attached to this FBO update. Secondary Distribution Additional guidance regarding secondary distribution of the "limited access" and "export controlled" documents will be provided in the cover letter released with the solicitation. --- Original Synopsis The United States Coast Guard has a requirement for Preliminary & Contract Design (P&CD), Detail Design (DD), and construction of up to 11 Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC). The OPC acquisition will utilize a two-phase, down-select strategy and will be conducted in accordance with Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Phase I entails a full and open competition for Preliminary and Contract Design (P&CD) awarded to a maximum of three offerors. The Coast Guard intends to competitively award the Phase I contracts in Fiscal Year (FY) 2013. Phase II will be a down-select from the three Phase I contractors and completed by exercising an option with a single contractor for Detail Design (DD) with additional options for Long Lead Time Materials (LLTM), lead ship, eight to ten follow ships and ancillary services and supplies. Phase II is planned for award in FY 2016. Phase I will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract, whereas Phase II will predominately be Fixed Price Incentive (Firm Target) with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA). Phase II will also include a mix of FFP and Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs). The location for the performance of Phases I and II will be at the contractor's facility. The estimated total period of performance for Phases I and II is projected to be from FY 2013 through FY 2028. In June 2012, the Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) was posted at http://www.uscg.mil/acquisition/opc/draftrfp.asp. The final RFP is expected to be posted to FBO on September 25, 2012, under solicitation number HSCG23-12-R-OPC001. The Coast Guard recognizes that the solicitation will likely be amended and therefore intends to respond to questions and post updates and amendments to FBO on Wednesdays, as needed, beginning October 10, 2012. Written proposals are scheduled to be due in January 2013, and the planned award date is September 2013. All proposals submitted by responsible parties will be considered by the Coast Guard. BRAND NAME REQUIREMENTS Per the OPC RFP, Section C, "There are two requirements for brand name applications - the MAFO watertight doors and classification services provided by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS)." MAFO watertight doors will be used due to their lifecycle cost savings and overall efficiency as compared to standard watertight doors. ABS will be used as the ship classification agent as is required by the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010, Title IV, Section 402, Chapter 15, Subchapter II, Section 573(c)(3)(A). Brand Name Justifications and Approvals (J&As) for the use of MAFO watertight doors and ABS will be published on FBO along with the OPC solicitation.
