- Description
- HC-144A THERMAL INSULATION FOR BLEED AIR COUPLINGS This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought synopsis only. This is NOT a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gain knowledge of commercially available products that may be of interest to the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The USCG Aircraft Logistics Center is seeking potential sources, and information from FAA certified vendors of like or similar products, that can provide removable, durable, and reusable thermal insulation for thirteen (13) bleed air couplings located forward of the center wing integral fuel tank structure of the USCG HC-144A aircraft. The USCG currently operates eleven, HC-144A Maritime Patrol Aircraft manufactured by EADS-CASA in Seville, Spain. The CASA CN-235-300M provides the basis for the Coast Guard HC-144A, aircraft resulting in a CG01 version of the CN-235-300M. The fleet size is still under review but could include as many as 36 assets, with each programmed for 1200-1500 flight hours annually. These Aircraft are continually inspected by USCG personnel in accordance with the Manufacturer's periodic requirements, and in conjunction with the specialized USCG Aircraft Computerized Maintenance System. The USCG will not be able to provide OEM manuals, drawings, or specifications for this requirement. Interested parties must have access to the OEM data and manuals. Responses to this notice should include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact (POC), and complete product details, brochures, and etc. which will allow the USCG to understand your product, configurations, auxiliary equipment, and options. Also, state the approximate lead-time for acquiring your product. Please provide the details and terms of any standard warranty included with the product. Additionally, detail any similar or like products your company has provided for use on other Department Of Defense (DoD) or Federal Government Aircraft. Please respond to the following questions: (1) Is your business a large or small business and how many employees? (2) If small, does your firm qualify as a small, emergent business, or a small, disadvantaged business? (3) If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your firm certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? (4) Is your firm a certified hub zone firm? (5) Is your firm a woman-owned or operated business? (6) Is your firm a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned? (7) Is your product listed on a GSA schedule? (8) Do you have other government agencies using the product, and if so which agencies, POCs and contract numbers? (9) If possible, any POCs for civilian users for general usage of product questions. After the review of the responses to this sources sought announcement, and if the USCG still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published in the Federal Business Opportunity (FBO). Responses to this sources sought synopsis are not adequate response to any future solicitation announcement. All interested offerors will have to respond to the solicitation in addition to responding to this sources sought synopsis. Again, this is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the USCG to award any contract. Responses to this sources sought notice shall be mailed to: Wade Johnson, Contracting Officer, at U.S. Coast Guard ALC, 1664 Weeksville Road Bldg 63, Elizabeth City, North Carolina, 27909-5001 or e-mailed to Wade.Johnson@uscg.mil. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Responses must be received no later than FEB 25, 2011 at 1545 hours (3:45 PM EST). Firms responding to this announcement that fail to provide all of the required information cannot be used to help the USCG make the appropriate acquisition decisions which is the intent of this sources sought notice. This notice is to help the USCG in determining potential sources only. All firms responding to this sources sought notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request to be considered for a contract award. All interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this announcement. Responses to this sources sought synopsis are NOT a request to be added to a prospective offerors list or to receive a copy of the solicitation.
