- Description
- Potential Sources Sought. The Coast Guard is seeking qualified sources that can provide four (4) each hose assemblies ?Helicopter In Flight Refueling Rig? (HIFR). NSN 4720-01-372-6533 manufactured by Eaton Aeroquip, Inc. This will be a stand-alone one-time buy contract. The Eaton Aeroquip hose assemblies make possible the delivery of aviation fuel from a Coast Guard Cutter to a helicopter during underway missions while the helicopter hovers just above the cutter. This capability is critical to enable the extended Coast Guard missions when conditions make it unsafe to land the helicopter on the cutter. The assemblies shall be delivered to: United States Coast Guard, Engineering Logistics Center, Warehouse Bldg 88, 2401 Hawkins Point Road, Baltimore, MD 21226-5000. This will be other than full and open competition using OEM Eaton Aeroquip, Inc. for the assemblies only. Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to Eaton Aeroquip, Inc. parts are not available to the Government and are propriety to the OEM. Accordingly, it is believe that this non-availability of technical data precludes the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistic Center from obtaining competition, as they are available from one source. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning their capability to supply the parts for the purpose of the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistic Center to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The procurement involves parts being procured from the prime equipment manufacturer or its actual supplier. Organizations having the expertise and required capabilities to provide the items are invited to submit complete information discussing such capabilities as follows: (i.e. salient physical functional and serviceability characteristics) (1) show that they satisfactorily manufactured the parts for the Government or the prime equipment manufacturer; or (2) submit complete and current engineering data comparing the offered parts to the OEM to demonstrate the acceptability of the parts. The submission of technical data packages for review shall not impede the award. It is the Government?s belief that only Eaton Aeroquip, Inc., the manufacturer of the hose assemblies (HIFR) and/or its authorized dealers and distributors can furnish the required parts and ensure the proper fit, form and function of all its components. The US Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center does not possess the technical expertise to evaluate the parts of an alternate product. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above items are invited to submit complete information discussing capabilities in duplicate within fifteen (15) days of this announcement. No cost or pricing information is required. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government does not intend to pay for this information solicited. Responses must be concise and be specifically directed to the requirement mentioned above. Concerns that respond to the notice must fully demonstrate their capabilities to meet the requirements. Adequate detailed data by which to evaluate capabilities should be sent to the attention of Rachelle J. Stanley, Contract Specialist (CODE 045). See number notes 22, and 26*****
