- Description
- This notice constitutes the United States Coast Guard (USCG) intent to award a sole source contract as required under FAR 5.2 Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. This requirement is to procure up to twenty Cutter Boat Over-the-Horizons, 4th Generation (CB-OTH-IVs) with supporting deliverables such as trailers, training, and logistic support.� The CB-OTH-IV is a highly specialized cutter boat, capable of open ocean operations beyond the line of sight of its parent cutter.� The CB-OTH-IV is interoperable with a wide range of USCG cutters and has standardized the training, supply support, and cutter boat operations across the USCG�s major cutter fleet.� With a configuration that supports multiple launch and recovery systems, the CB-OTH-IV is interoperable with, and deployed on, the National Security Cutter (NSC), the Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Polar Icebreakers (WAGB), and Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC).� The CB-OTH-IV is the most interoperable cutter boat in the USCG, and represents the largest cutter boat fleet size with 114 in inventory. This is a follow-on procurement; the supplies and services anticipated for this requirement have been previously acquired through contract HSCG23-11-D-ACB014.� The CB-OTH-IV was purchased competitively to deliver up to one-hundred and fourteen (114) CB?OTH?IVs.�� The CB-OTH-IV program was established to provide over-the-horizon (OTH) cutter boat capability for the NSC fleet, with an intent to also meet the needs of the FRC program, and to recapitalize existing older generation cutter boats with a modern, standardized cutter boat.� The CB?OTH?IV was purchased with an advertised service life of 7 years, with initial deliveries taking place in February of 2013. The USCG intends to award on a sole source basis an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Safe Boats International (SBI), L.L.C. 8800 Barney White Rd., Bremerton, WA 98312-4921, for delivery of up to twenty CB?OTH?IVs, with an anticipated award date of December 21, 2020.� Pursuing other than a sole source award would cause the USCG to incur substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition and experience unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency�s requirement.� The USCG estimates to complete the testing required to place a boat other than the CB-OTH-IV in service would result in a duplicated cost of approximately $4 million and would not meet the need for the next delivery of a CB-OTH in July 2021.� Competing this procurement would require testing on multiple USCG cutters that would create unacceptable delays extending beyond the July 2021 need. This is not a request for competitive proposals.� This notice is for informational purposes only.� As required by FAR 5.207 (c)(16)(ii), all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.� However, a determination by the USCG not to compete this action rests solely with the discretion of the Contracting Officer.�
