Description: SOURCES SOUGHT/MARKET SURVEY NOTICE FOR CIMOTS/COLDS This is a sources sought synopsis for Contractor Instruction, Maintenance, Operation and Training Support (CIMOTS) for the Strategic Sealift Cargo Offload and Discharge Systems (COLDS) in support of Logistics Over the Shore and Joint Logistics Over the Shore (LOTS/JLOTS) objectives as well as related requirements for other government agencies. The principal place of performance of this contract is San Diego, California. The contractor will be required to provide instructional training (including high and medium risk), training management, maintenance, operational and training support services, to include Mobile Training Teams (MTT) for government students using government furnished equipment, material and methodologies to produce a graduate who satisfies the Fleet readiness and Strategic COLDS mission and various other requirements (see below - COLDS Major Capabilities Statement). Contractor shall be responsible for the Cargo Offload and Discharge System (COLDS) which is the major Naval system for in-stream cargo offload and discharge. The background of the COLDS program is that it has two major subsystems: the cargo offloading and transfer system (COTS) for dry cargo and the off-shore bulks fuel system (OBFS) for liquid cargo. Navy COLDS equipment and facilities include Lighterage, Warping Tugs, Powered Modules, Causeway Ferries, Floating Piers, Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) Discharge Facilities (RRDF), and Elevated Causeway Expeditionary Pier. Liquid cargo offload is supported by the Amphibious Bulk Liquid Transfer System (ABLTS) and the Offload Petroleum Discharge System (OPDS). COLDS supports Logistics-Over-The-Shore (LOTS) operations, the loading and unloading of Marine Corps Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) and Assault Follow-On Echelon (AFOE) ships in the absence of established port facilities. LOTS operations can be conducted over unimproved shorelines, through fixed ports not accessible to deep draft vessels, and through fixed ports that are inadequate without the use of LOTS capabilities. Executing LOTS requires a great deal of large specialized equipment. The Navy 冱 COLDS forms the primary structures spanning the distance from the sealift ship to the shore. Landing craft and warping tugs are also used to assemble causeways and move other equipment. Other support craft include the Lighter Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARC) Boat, Inflatable Boat and MPF Utility Boats. Prior to assembly, unloading the causeway systems requires heavy lift capability often delivered by Navy amphibious construction battalions. Award will be made in the form of an Indefinite Delivery requirement contract to one technically acceptable responsible offeror. A firm fixed-price type contract is anticipated for this effort with a five year ordering period, commencing on 01 Oct, 2013. The government is aware of only one source that has historically been able to satisfy the requirements of the CIMOTS/COLDS program; at present, services are being provided by Defense Support Services LLC., under contract N61339-08-C-0045. This sources sought synopsis is the Government 冱 effort to ascertain if any other offeror is able to meet the needs of the Government for these requirements. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. In doing so, interested sources must submit detailed capabilities and any other information that demonstrates their ability to meet the needs of the Government.
