This is a follow-on contract to the OEM for support services. Converteam (formerly Alstom Power Conversion, inc.) is the original equipment manufacturer/integrator of the IPP. The Healy is currently home ported in Seattle, WA. The maintenance support contractor shall be required to maintain a quality program that complies with ISO-9001. The technical consultant must have at least 3 years hands-on experience in the troubleshooting, repair and performance of preventative and corrective maintenance on equipment of similar size and service to the Converteam equipment currently installed on the USCGC HEALY. The Coast Guard anticipates a one-year contract with options to extend the contract not to exceed six additional years. It is the Government's belief that only Converteam, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)/Integrator, can provide the support required. The Government does not own the technical documentation or software code needed to conduct a competitive procurement. However, other responsible sources having the expertise and required capabilities are encouraged to identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement within 15 days from the publication of this synopsis. Interested parties must submit a capability statement that sufficiently describes their qualifications, capabilities, and previous experience relevant to fulfilling the above requirement. Capability statements shall include evidence of at least five years experience/work on Converteam control systems with features/capability comparable to the system to be supported. This experience may be in system design, operation, maintenance, and training or in any combination of these four specialties. They must be intimately familiar with all components of the HEALY systems list and their function. Interested parties must provide proof of access to Converteam proprietary technical documentation on systems hardware and software. Only partial technical documentation/data is available to the Government. Access to Converteam documentation is required to enable tailoring/upgrade of MPCMS, DPS software and/or hardware and replacement of technologically obsolescent power plant components to meet future CG requirements. Parties must also demonstrate the capability of accessing the ship's MPCMS/CTES from a remote shore site and extracting data from MPCMS/CTES databases for analysis and troubleshooting. In the absence of responses for firms, which believe they have the capability to perform this requirement, the Coast Guard intends to negotiate with Converteam Inc. for the work described pursuant to FAR 6.302-1(b)(1). All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which will be considered by the agency. No other notice will be published until award is made.
