- Description
- THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. The Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is seeking sources capable of performing the requirements necessary to complete the Major Repair Period (MRP) of the NOAA Ship RAINIER. The Government is especially interested in responses from SBA certified small business concerns that are capable of performing the work described within this notice. The contractor shall provide all facilities, supervision, material, and labor necessary to perform modifications, repairs, and preservation to the NOAA ship RAINIER. The mooring and dry docking shall be accomplished at the contractor's facility. The MRP is expected to have a dry docking period of about 3 to 4 months as a part of a total of 12 months long shipyard period. The anticipated period of performance is 14 months which includes about 2 months of up-front time for the purpose of allowing the contractor time to order long lead-time items. The Government currently anticipates that the RAINIER will become available to enter into the shipyard period of the contract in late-October or early-November 2009. The Government also anticipates that during the shipyard period the successful offeror may choose to have a dry docking period of roughly 3 to 4 months, with the possibility of dry docking not being a continuous operation. The placement of dry dock work within the schedule of repairs depends upon the schedule that the successful offeror submits to the Government for approval after the time of contract award.

The NAICS code for this requirement is 336611 and the small-business size standard is 1,000 employees. The Government anticipates awarding a fixed-price supply contract for the repairs to the RAINIER. The Government intends that any resulting procurement action will be accomplished, at least in part, under the authority of, and in accordance with the requirements of, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The entirety of any resulting procurement may not necessarily be funded with Recovery Act funding. This request for information does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. Nor does this request for information constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise that any procurement action that may be issued for the Government's requirements related to other NOAA Ship RAINIER repairs, current or otherwise, will necessarily be associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Government anticipates that as part of the evaluation of proposals, a foreseeable costs to the Government calculation will be used. No entitlement to payment of direct or indirect costs or charges by the Government will arise as a result of the submission of contractor's information. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for proprietary information not properly identified. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations. Please submit information to include: 1) Your firm's DUNS number & CAGE code; 2) Your firm's SBA certified small business concern status. Specifically identify if your firm is HUBZone-certified, Service Disabled Veteran Owned, or SBA 8(a) program certified; 3) A brief description of your firm's recent past experience (within past 3 years) performing complex ship repairs of a similar magnitude to the work to the RAINIER as described above; 4) Your firm's facility capabilities, specifically whether your firm has a certified dry dock capable of dry docking the RAINIER; 5) Your firm's bonding capacity. NOAA is required by Public Law to secure performance and payment bonds for ship repair in the amount of 20% of the funded contract award amount. 6) Identify from the list of major work components above those that your firm would likely subcontract out. Any subsequent contract will contain the mandatory FAR clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, which limits subcontracting costs to 50% of the price of the contract.

Do not call regarding this sources sought notice. Any questions or responses regarding this notice must be submitted in writing via e-mail to the above e-mail address.
