Thank you! --ATTACHMENT 2 -- Please fill out and return the Past Performance form in accordance with instructions as listed in the Synopsis and the form. Thank you! 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 in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation from which quotes are being requested, and a written solicitation will not be issued. This announcement is a Request for Quotations (RFQ). The solicitation number is #AB133M-09-RQ-1057, and incorporates provisions and clauses in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular No. 2005-35 dated 07/14/09. The resulting contract will be a firm-fixed price contract. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334513 with a size standard of 500 employees. This requirement is "unrestricted". This acquisition will be awarded under simplified acquisition procedures (Part 13). SCHEDULE: The Government is looking for "Brooke Ocean" or "Or Equal" items. If you offer "Or Equal" items, please include full specifications for each line item listed below. Part/catalog numbers are being used to represent equipment that is pertinent to the Brooke Ocean brand name Moving Vessel Profilers (MVPs) or "sound velocity sensors" (generic nomenclature). Part/catalog numbers are being provided for cross-referencing purposes. The MVPs must have autonomous features. Manually controlled or MVPs that do not have autonomous/fully automatic features will not be considered because they do not meet the Government's needs. Pricing shall be submitted with a signed SF-1449 and a fully completed Schedule of Items (see attachment 1) which include 2 (two) each of the following: Item 0001 - MVP-200-X MVP200 System; includes the winch/hydraulic manifold, hydraulic power unit, control system, and boom. (or equal) Item 0002 -- MVP200 Tow Cable 660 Meters (or equal) Item 0003 - 0010-2-B-0-00 Sincle Sensor Free Fall Fish (SSFFF), to include power module (or equal) Item 0004 - AML Micro-CTD (or equal) Item 0005 - MVP 200 Spares (or equal) - See Spares List at end of this Synopsis * Item 0006 -- Installation and Training; 2 engineers; 5 days (This is the same requirement for two different ships, or two different installation evolutions). Provide two operations manuals per installation for a total of 4 operations manuals (two per ship). Contractor may supply a paper version and an electronic version or two paper versions per ship, but the preference is for one electronic version and one paper version. SALIENT FEATURES: 1. The system must be a self-contained profiling system capable of sampling vertical water column profiles of oceanographic data such as sound velocity, conductivity and temperature versus depth, particle counts and support for operations such as the calibration of multi-beam sounder systems for hydrographic operations. 2. The system winch shall be hydraulic powered and integral to the winch. 3. Shall provide a profile depth of a minimum of 200 meters at 12 knots, 350 meters at 5 knots and 600 meters at rest. 4. Shall be able to be controlled by computer without the requirement for personnel on deck (autonomous/automatic). The above equipment will most likely be advertised as a "brand name or equal" requirement. The government considers the specifications for the brand name "Brook Ocean" to meet its needs. Clarification about "Salient Features": All the items as listed make up a complete system. The cable, item 2, is necessary for the system to work. Items 3 and 4 are the two sensors that can be attached to the cable and be controlled by the winch. Items 5 and 6 are necessary to maintain the equipment and operate the system once it has been procured. Therefore, items 1 thru 4 make a complete system and the salient characteristics apply to all of them. Item 5 are spares in order to keep the system running while at sea and the last item is training for fixing, operating and maintaining the system.
