This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format outlined in FAR Subpart 12.6, current through FAC 2005-36 (August 2009), and as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation. Quotations are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The NAICS code for this solicitation is 541330 and the Small Business Size Standard is $4.5 Million. This acquisition is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. This synopsis/solicitation is issued pursuant to FAR 6.203-1 and HSAM 3006.302-1. The resultant purchase order will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR 13.5. It is the Government’s belief that only Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) can provide the benefits from the CRS’s efforts to further USCG’s understanding of both the physics of the hull and propulsor effiency as well as the influence of fouling on increased resistance and fuel consumption. These projects will continue the development of the propulsion and maneuvering analysis tools such as PROCAL, and COCGNAC and hydrodynamic programs such as PRECAL and PRETTI, which will enhance the performance of Coast Guard cutters in terms of fuel savings, physics of ship operating behavior in extreme sea conditions and heavy weather operator guidance. However potential sources other than MARIN desiring to furnish services are required to submit the following information: Data that the offered services have been satisfactorily provided to the U.S. Coast Guard, foreign navies, tow tank basins, ship builders, operators, and classification societies. This data must include sufficient information to allow the Coast Guard to evaluate the information relative to the above requirements. Concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above services are invited to submit complete information discussing the same in duplicate within seven (7) calendar days from the date this Notice is published. 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. Inquiries/information received after the established deadline shall NOT be considered for this acquisition. The submission of this data for review shall not impede award of this purchase order. The Government does NOT intend to pay for information solicited. The following FAR Provisions apply to this solicitation.
