- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE / REQUEST FOR INFORMATION; Pursuant to FAR Part 10 (Market Research), the purpose of this notice is to: (1) determine if sources capable of satisfying the agency's requirements exists, (2) determine if commercial items suitable to meet the agency's needs are available or could be modified to meet the agency's requirements, and (3) determine the commercial practices of company's engaged in providing the needed service or supply. Pursuant to FAR Part 6 and FAR Part 19, competition and set-aside decisions may be based on the results of this market research. This notice in no way obligates the Government to any further action. The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center, Ice Breaker, Buoy and Construction Tender Product Line (USCG-SFLC-IBCT) is interested in determining what sources are currently available to provide all management, supervision, personnel, labor, materials, and equipment to upgrade WLM MPCMS installed on the U.S. Coast Guard Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM class) in accordance with the Statement of Work (SOW). The existing Machinery Plant Control & Monitoring System (MPCMS) installed on 175' long U.S. Coast Guard Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM class) utilizes two Versa Module Europa (VME) computers. Several printed circuit boards installed in the VME card cage chassis contain components which are no longer manufactured and residual stocks of fully functional cards are dwindling. As a result, the scope of this effort includes all tasks to remove, modify, install, test, calibrate, and certify equipment, as well as the development of training material and the teaching of classes to cutter personnel, support staff, and instructors. The Government expects that a significant portion of the design and development work previously performed for a similar 225' long U.S. Coast Guard Seagoing Buoy Tenders (WLB class) MPCMS project will be directly applicable to this retrofit, with little to no additional engineering effort required. The intent of this upgrade is to replace the existing VME hardware and data logger with modern redundant processors that will interface with the remote terminal units (RTU) and other components of the legacy system. Interested vendors may request the statement of work (SOW) by emailing the primary POC and confirming they are registered in SAM under NAICS 334513. Place of Performance: Contractor facility, Government facility and on-board 175' WLM cutters, at the respective cutter's homeport located within the United States and United States territories. Work will be conducted "pier-side" and "underway", with operational testing to be conducted underway within the 2 cutter's local area of responsibility (AOR). Underway tasking will not require overnight stay onboard the cutter. However, it may require an overnight stay at a hotel. In some instances, services may be required while the cutter is moored at an alternate location or dry-docked, either at a commercial or Government facility. Anticipated Period of Performance: The period of performance is anticipated to be for one base year with two (2) option years with a start date of 1 September 2015 and end date of 31 August 2018 (Subject to change at the discretion of the Government).
