- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI). THIS IS *NOT* A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS, REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS, OR INVITATION TO BID NOTICE. This provides information to the marketplace and is an invitation for an expression of interest and demonstration of capability to perform the anticipated work. The Government will not pay for the provision of any information nor will it compensate any respondents for the development of such information. While a future solicitation is anticipated, it is not guaranteed. During 2009 and 2010 the Coast Guard expects to conduct a series of Maintenance and Repair Availabilities and Post Shake Down Availabilities on USCGC BERTHOLF (WMSL 750) and USCGC WAESCHE (WMSL 751) (scheduled for delivery in 2010). The availabilities’ will likely be conducted at the cutters home port in Alameda, CA but other locations cannot be ruled out at this time. Portions of the planned work will be done in classified compartments and may require contractor personnel with current, active DoD SECRET security clearances. The Coast Guard is seeking business sources that can provide some or all of the cleared personnel normally associated with ship building and repairing activities. Examples of the trades and skills that will likely be required for work in classified compartments include but are not limited to: electricians, welders, fire watch standers, ship fitters, steel workers, riggers, painters, insulators, metal fabricators, pipe fitters and Marine Chemist/Qualified Persons. Individuals would be required to posses the required clearance at time of any contract award. The Small Business Administration (SBA) uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes to establish size standards on an industry-by-industry basis. The anticipated NAICS code for this requirement is 336611 – Ship Building and Repairing. However, interested sources are encouraged to provide a determination and recommendation of the best NAICS code applicable to this type of requirement. Interested sources are also requested to submit (1) an expression of interest, whether to all, or portions of, this effort and (2) a statement of capabilities including examples of past performance, no later than 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, 17 December, 2008. The expression of interest should state whether the concern is a Large or a Small Business and should further identify if it is a Small Disadvantaged Business, HUB-Zone Business, Women Owned Business, 8(a) certified small business, Veteran Owned Business, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business as well as the business size under the potential NAICS. In addition, interested sources should indicate whether the firm is U.S. or foreign-owned. Interested small businesses should review and understand the requirements in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 19 and clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Responses shall include the interested firm’s complete mailing address and point of contact (name, telephone number, and e-mail address). The firm shall provide a brief narrative that demonstrates the company’s capability to perform the services to meet the requirements contained in this Request for Information -- Market Research Only Survey. Electronic submission should be forwarded to Mr. Michael Leonard at michael.t.leonard@uscg.mil. Mr. Leonard may also be reached at 510-637-5804. There is no bid package or solicitation document associated with this announcement. This RFI does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of the submission of a contractor’s information. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for proprietary information not properly identified. Interested sources are strongly encouraged NOT to submit proprietary information.
