Any submissions will be considered to be public information. Responses will not be returned. Request for Information - Offshore Petroleum Discharge System (OPDS) fuel delivery service. Background: The Department mission for offshore petroleum discharge system capability currently consists of one or more US flag self-sustaining vessels and associated equipment which deploys, operates and redeploys a system capable of delivering fuel from a commercial tanker or fuel barge to the high water mark of a designated beach from up to eight (8) miles off shore. Delivery capability of 1.7 million gallons per 20 hour work day with installation conditions, combined or separate wind/waves/current/gradient, of 40-knots, 6 foot waves, 3-knot surface currents a tidal range of 13-20 feet, and a near shore gradient as much as 1:300. Survive 55-knot winds, 12 foot waves, and 5-knot surface currents over a 72 hour period and compatible with a standard commercial tanker or commercial fuel barge. The current system is all commercial components including dynamic positioning, submarine pipe, and pipe reels, towing winch and bitts to act as a single point moor for a 63,000 DWT commercial tanker with bollard pull of 50 tons. DLA Energy is interested in commercial off the shelf service capability (platforms/components/delivery systems) with the capability to deliver fuel from offshore at distances from 8 to 18 miles and a fuel delivery capability of 1.7 million gallons in 20 hours to up to 2.5 million gallons, sinking and floating pipe considered and installed over multiple coastal type conditions and tidal zones (beaches, mud flats, sand, rock, shell or coral bottom). Operating water depths between 20 and 200 feet MLW. Fuel delivery services would need to be capable of being installed and available for use within a range of 60 to 100 days from time of notification in peacetime Humanitarian Relief as well as low-intensity combat environments, in locations from Northern Marianas throughout the Pacific Ocean to Arabian Sea. System should be capable of operations in both tropical and cold weather / arctic environments. Specifically seeking companies interested in providing an offshore distribution contingency service vice design and purchase of equipment, vessels, or piping, as is the current system. The fuel distribution service capability would need to address the following items: 1) Fuel distribution service as an enhancement to the current OPDS or stand-alone system/components (heavy lift vessels, FLOFLO, LOLO, etc., mooring system, i.e., Cantilevered Anchor Leg Moor (CALM), pipe reels, support craft) 2) Concept of operations: identify components and their integration to provide fuel distribution service capability, and any DoD support assets/Government furnished equipment required (LARC, LCAC, USN Naval Beach Group support, etc) 3) Delivery capability: offshore distance, gallons per hour/per day, beach/shoreline reception requirements. 4) Deployment conditions: sea state, tidal range, gradient to shore, wind speed 5) Inter-operability with shore distribution system such as Army Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS), Beach Termination Unit (BTU), Tactical Petroleum Terminal (TPT) or other inland receiving station/systems. 6) Cost estimate of a contingency service type contract too include fixed fees, and cost reimbursable items. 7) Constraints to potential capability (compliance with Classification Society Rules, OCIMF or other regulatory governance, USCG, 33 CFR, etc. Responses should not exceed 25 pages and, in addition to addressing the above mentioned requirements, should address the following: 1. Firm's experience in providing like/similar services. 2. ROM cost estimate(s), to include input on contractual structure with the objective of minimizing associated costs to the Government. 3. Industry considerations/input on feasibility that would maximize the potential for utilizing the private sector to support this requirement.
