- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE ONLY. This is not a solicitation or request for quotes and no contract or purchase order will be awarded from this notice. There is no solicitation, specifications or drawings available at this time. Military Sealift Command (MSC) is seeking eligible businesses that can provide Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and services to support overhaul and repairs for Appleton Marine Cargo Cranes install onboard T-AKE class dry cargo/ammunition ships. There are four (4) Cargo Cranes Model Number EB270-87-47 on each of the T-AKE class dry cargo/ammunition ships. These cranes are custom manufactured for the T-AKE vessel by Appleton Marine to NAVSEA performance specifications. This includes proprietary rights to the software and programming codes which are essential for repair and programming of the load cell sensor set points, collision avoidance mapping, and physical booming and extension set-points of the T-AKE Cargo Cranes. Only authorized OEM distributors can supply repair parts and services for the T-AKE Cargo Cranes. Any deviations from OEM repair parts and services could result in personal injury or equipment failure and damage. The Cargo Cranes are critical for general cargo and ordinance/ammunition UNREP operations in the Navy's Combat Logistics force. The cranes are certified for ordinance operations under NAVSEA Test Procedure 589 and classed under American Bureau of Shipping Cargo Gear Survey. Without a fully operational cargo crane system, T-AKE class dry cargo/ammunition ships are unable to achieve MSC Strategic Priority 1, "ships ready for tasking." MSC did not acquire the proprietary information and technical data rights beyond general arrangement drawings thus, MSC does not have manufacturing and technical information required to evaluate and determine whether non-OEM replacement parts or services offered are equivalent to the OEM components and replacement parts and services. All businesses are encouraged to respond to this Sources Sought. The appropriate NAICS Codes are 333923 and 811310. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE OR PROPOSAL. It is a market research tool used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential business sources prior to determining the method of acquisition for the parts and services. The Government is not obligated to and will not pay for any information received from potential sources as a result of this Source Sought. It is requested that interested businesses submit to the contracting office a brief capabilities package demonstrating ability to provide the requested items. This document shall address, as a minimum the following: (1) Company Profile, office location(s), DUNS number, and CAGE Code; (2) Licensing Agreement with Appleton Marine; (3) list of related experience on providing parts or servicing this system or similar systems associated with the Appleton Cranes installed on the T-AKE Class Ships. RESPONSES ARE DUE on Monday, February 26, 2018 by 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Responses shall be sent via e-mail to the following address john.harrison@navy.mil. Fax submissions of the capabilities packages WILL NOT be accepted. Questions or comments regarding this notice may be addressed to John Harrison at the above email address.
