- Description
- The U.S. Coast Guard intends to solicit with only one source, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Caterpillar Defense and Federal Products (Caterpillar) to obtain parts and technical services specific to the 418 ft Large Maritime Security Cutter (WMSL) Legend Class of Coast Guard Cutters, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and FAR 27.402(b). These parts and services directly support maintenance and operations of the WMSL Power Generation System on board the 418 ft WMSL Legend Class of Coast Guard Cutters. This notice of intent is NOT a Request for Competitive Proposals. No contract award will be made on the basis of this notice. Historically, the WMSL Power Generation System maintenance parts and services have been available from only one known source, Caterpillar. Caterpillar is the designer, developer, and sole source integrator of the WMSL Power Generation System, and is the only known source with the engineering experience, technical data, and capability to analyze all the components simultaneously necessary for the performance of this effort. Caterpillar can furnish the required parts and ensure the proper fit, form and function of all its components. Caterpillar will establish a maintenance parts and technical services program to support the Power Generation System installed on the National Security Cutter (NSC). The major components of the system include: Three Caterpillar 3512B diesel engines close coupled to three 1360 kW Baylor generators. All labor shall be performed by the OEM certified and authorized machinists, mechanics and technicians. It has been determined that only Caterpillar can furnish the desired services and parts for the NSC Power Generation System and the only responsible source that can analyze all these components simultaneously. This requirement is for one base year plus 2 one-year option periods. This requirement is subject to the availability of funds. NOTE: No Technical Data Package is available from the Government. The Government does not have complete specification, plans, or drawings available, and can not provide them to the contractor. Concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above are invited to submit complete information discussing the same within ten (10) days of this announcement. However, other potential sources desiring to furnish other than OEM parts and services are required to submit the following information: 1) Complete and current engineering data to demonstrate the acceptability of the offered parts and services (i.e. salient physical, functional and serviceability characteristics); 2) Complete and current information on training and configuration control of the WMSL Power Generation system (i.e. technical manuals, engineering changes and software). This data must include sufficient information to allow the USCG to evaluate the proposal relative to the above requirements. Concerns that respond to this notice must fully demonstrate the capability to accomplish the above and are to supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. This information is due within ten (10) days from the date of this announcement. Information received will be considered SOLELY for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement in the future. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. The submission of this data for review shall not impede award of this procurement. No cost or pricing data is required. This notice does not constitute a solicitation document, and request for such documents will not be considered. The Government will not pay for information received. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (14-NOV-2007); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
