- Draft specifications in support of SKF-ICE SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE (SSN) SKIFF- ICE (2018) THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE BEING RELEASED PURSUANT TO FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION (FAR) PART 10: MARKET RESEARCH. This SSN is issued solely for informational, market research, and planning purposes only. It does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP) or a promise to issue an RFP in the future. This SSN does not commit the Government to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. Further, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) is not at this time seeking proposals, and will not accept unsolicited proposals. Respondents are advised that the United States (US) Government will not pay for any information or administrative cost incurred in response to this SSN. All costs associated with responding to this SSN will be solely at the responding party's expense. At this time, proprietary information is not being requested, and respondents shall refrain from providing proprietary information in response to this SSN. Responses to the SSN will not be returned. Please be advised that all submissions become Government property and will not be returned. Not responding to this SSN does not preclude participation in any future RFP, if any is issued. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the U.S Government to form a binding contract. It is the responsibility of the interested parties to monitor this site for additional information pertaining to this SSN. SCOPE: The intent of the Skiff Ice Boat (SKF-ICE) is to provide the United States Coast Guard (USCG) with short-haul ice inflatable boats to support Districts D1 and D9 Small Boat Stations for Search & Rescue (SAR) during the ice season. The SKF-ICE will be used as a short-haul inflatable boat (i.e. for ice rescue SAR cases where the response is less than one-half of a nautical mile from shore). Please see attached draft Specifications. BACKGROUND: The requirement to maintain and operate SAR facilities is applicable year round. USCG District 1 and 9 units are expected to conduct SAR response operations regardless of whether surface waters are liquid, solid ice, or a combination of both. USCG authorities, jurisdiction and responsibilities do not change with the formation of ice, and response capabilities and management of risk must adapt to fit the seasonal threats and challenges. Regardless of ice conditions or the time of the year, the USCG Commandant's SAR goals are to have USCG SAR crews respond to an incident and be on scene within two hours. During the winter months, after most boat stations have pulled their boats from the water, USCG aircraft and small boat station ice rescue teams are the only SAR response assets on the lakes and rivers. REQUESTED INFORMATION: Respondents interested in providing a response to this SSN should carefully read the attached specification and submit information which clearly describes the following: (In A through E). A. The Company Capabilities to manufacture the inflatable boat as well as proven commercial availability. All sources are requested to summarily address each specification listed and identify whether or not they can currently meet and provide each of the specification requirements. B. Provide comments to the attached Specification as well as any recommended changes to the Specification. C. A rough estimate concerning production timeframe and price ranges. D. Business Size in accordance with NAICS Code 336612. The expression of interest should state whether the concern is a: a) Large or Small Business, and identify if Small Business Disadvantaged Business b) HUB-Zone Business, c) Women Owned Business, d) 8(a) certified small business, e) Veteran Owned Business, f) Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business and g) business size under the potential NAICS, Please provide the Dun and Bradstreet number, any other Government contracts held including General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule (include the GSA schedule number), and if your firm has recently submitted a proposal for any similar requirements with any Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, or other U.S Federal Government activities. Please indicate this with your submission to include agency's name, solicitation number or contract number, and Contracting Officer's name and point of contact information. E. Any other information that your company feels is pertinent to this SSN. RESPONSES: Please submit information via email to Ms. LaKisha Brewer, Contract Specialist, at LaKisha.Brewer@uscg.mil no later than 12 Noon EST on 08 March 2018. You may also submit supplemental materials such as brochures and product literature to the above email address.
