- Description
- The Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MARAD), Office of Acquisition and Grants intends to award a sole source bridge contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The bridge will be issued for the continuation of Oil Pollution insurance. This bridge is necessary to allow time to formally compete this requirement. Lamorte Burns provides oil pollution insurance and related services in response to oil spills for the Maritime Administration (MARAD), U.S. Department of Transportation owned vessels of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) and Schoolships operated by the State Maritime Academies. Lamorte Burns & Co., Inc. also provides MARAD services of a Spill Management Team (SMT) to manage a large oil spill from MARAD-owned vessels of the RRF and Schoolships operated by the State Maritime. These services are provided under contract number DTMA1C08002. Lamorte Burns is a Small Business concern. No source other than the incumbent can satisfy this short-term need given the transition period that would be required, and conducting a follow-on acquisition for this need would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirement. MARAD intends to award a sole source bridge to ensure there is no lapse in services while the competitive process for the follow-on acquisition is completed. The period of performance for this bridge contract is May 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013. The NAICS code for this requirement is 524210 Insurance Agencies and Brokerages and the Size Standard is $7.0 million. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. MARAD intends to re-compete the requirement 3rd Quarter of FY 2013. A Sources Sought Notice was issued on Fbo.gov under notice number 2013OilPollution. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer. MARAD will not be responsible for any costs incurred by an interested party responding to this notice. Questions or comments pertaining to this notice of intent may be e-mailed to Sabrina.Phillips@dot.gov.
