- Description
- This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included with this notice. This commercial item acquisition is being conducted in accordance with subpart 13.5. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HSCG23-05-R-DCM060 and it is being issued as a Request for Proposals (RFP). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-04. The NAIC code is 339113. The U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) will award a sole source Indefinite Quantity, Indefinite Delivery type contract to PCCI Logistics Incorporated, for the purchase “TRANSPORTABLE” Emergency Evacuation Hyperbaric Stretcher and Treatment System (EEHS). The EEHS has to be portable and collapsible and can be used as a means of transporting and treating diving personnel suffering from decompression sickness or gas embolism under pressure. The design and fabrication of the hyperbaric chamber/stretcher must meet the current ASME, Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (PVHO) requirements. The system shall be capable of operating to pressure of at least 60 feet sea water (2.8 ATA) and a means of pressuring and ventilating the chamber/stretcher with air is required. The hyperbaric chamber/stretcher must also incorporate a means of observing and administering oxygen to the occupant while pressurized. The contractor shall provide the hyperbaric to the following standards: (1) Design Pressure (min) 2.8 ATA (60 feet sea water); (2) Temperature range 0 F- 100 F; (3) Dimensions (max 8.5 ft); and (4) Transport Weight (max) 200 lbs. Currently, the USCG does not have an established source of supply for the EEHS either through the Department of Defense or other Federal Government agencies and as such, is seeking to put in place an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to procure the required hyperbaric. The minimum quantity is two (2) over the life of the contract. The maximum quantity is six (6) for the total period of performance. The period of performance shall be from date of award through 365 days thereafter, with two one-year option periods.

Prices for 1001 will be used for orders placed during Option Period 1 and prices for 2001 will be used for orders placed during Option Period 2. The anticipated delivery schedule is 90 days after award of the applicable Delivery Order for the first item and 30 days thereafter for each additional item. Should Delivery Orders be placed prior to completion of a Delivery Order already in place, the first delivery date for that next Delivery Order shall be 60 days after the last shipment is shipped from the previous Delivery Order, such that there is not an overlap in deliveries from one Delivery Order to the next, unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer.

Offerors are encouraged to submit your offer electronically to ssevere@comdt.uscg.mil IF YOUR OFFER IS LESS THAN 30 PAGES. However, it is each offeror’s responsibility to ensure the offer is received (in total) by the Contract Specialist prior to the deadline. It is the policy of the USCG to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. To further this policy, the Commandant has created the position of Solicitation Ombudsman who is empowered to investigate issues raised by prospective offerors and resolve them, where possible, without expensive and time-consuming litigation. Potential offerors who believe that a USCG solicitation is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the offeror should then contact the Coast Guard Solicitation Ombudsman at the following address: Commandant (G-CG-85-S/3)/2100 Second Street, SW/Washington, DC/20593-000l/Ph: (202) 267-2285, Fax: (202) 267-4011. Potential offerors should provide the following information to the Ombudsman in order to ensure a timely response: solicitation number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and the solicitation closing date.
