Description

The Coastal Systems Station, Dahlgren Division, NSWC, Panama City, FL 32407-7001 intends to issue a contract on a sole-source basis to OMC, 200 Sea Horse Drive, Waukegan, IL 60085-2143, for the design and fabrication of multi-fuel nongasoline burning engines that can produce from 2 Hp to 60 Hp per cylinder. These engines may be used in a variety of applications including bomb hoists, outboards, and other shipboard and shore based applications where the use gasoline powered equipment presents significant logistics and personnel safety issue. The technology to be applied is that used for the Advanced Development Model (ADM) Nongasoline Burning Outboard Engine (NBOE), currently being developed under contract N61331-98-C-0025. The engine under contract N61331-98-C-0025 is expected to produce between 10 Hp and 14 Hp per cylinder. Basis for sole-source award is the government's desire to leverage the extensive investment in multi-fuel nongasoline burning engine technology that has been made since 1989 with OMC since 1994. Extensive efforts have been made to identify and evaluate candidate nongasoline burning outboard engines. These efforts have been advertised and conducted in a full and open manner, and ultimately have resulted in the competitive award of contract N61331-98-C-0025 to OMC for the ADM NBOE. No other competitor for this contract had a design as fully developed as OMC. Additionally, from 80 to 90 percent of the OMC design is commercial-off-the-shelf technology, for which a worldwide support network has already been established, and through which the government can expect to realize significant life cycle cost savings. Any other contractor would be required to duplicate substantially all of the efforts expended under these contracts in order to perform the work to be performed under this proposed contract. A five-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity cost plus fixed fee type contract is anticipated. Specific engine development requirements will be identified in individual statements of work/specifications issued against this contract.
