Background and Purpose The USCG is replacing its aging fleet of inland tenders that support the Service�s aids to navigation (ATON) mission in federal waterways, including the Nation�s Maritime Transportation System�s (MTS) inland buoy tenders (WLI). The USCG has partnered with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Marine Design Center to develop a government-led design for the WLI variant to minimize design risk, maximize commonality, and reduce design burdens for prospective contractors.� The USCG is now seeking to identify potential sources for the procurement of the required major equipment and services in support of the upcoming WLI production acquisition. As part of the integrated design solution, the USCG requires the following brand name equipment and services per hull: Two (2) Standard Horizon GX-6000 VHF DSC radios. a. Complete Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) factory and Quality Conformance (QC) testing on each installation. b. OEM Certification, Warranty and QC Test Reports for each installation. c. On-Board Repair Parts (OBRP) Kit to ensure the cutter has all required repair parts available to support an operational deployment. Requested Feedback from Industry The following requested information is intended to increase the USCG�s understanding of the potential sources able to provide the required equipment and services. In response to this RFI, companies that believe they have the capability to provide the equipment and services required are asked to provide the following information. Please note that an official Request for Proposal (RFP), if released for the WLI procurement, would be the only document relied upon in determining the USCG�s final requirements.

Include previous contract information where these parts have been provided to the Government and/or commercial customers. 2. A capability statement detailing the company�s ability to provide WLI shipboard technical service support and training for the required VHF DSC radio set installation kits.
