This will be other than full and open competition with Coltec Industries Inc./Fairbanks Morse Engine Division. Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to Fairbanks Morse are not available within the Government and are proprietary to Fairbanks Morse. Accordingly, it is believed that this nonavailability of technical data precludes the U.S. Coast Guard Supply Center from obtaining competition as they are available from only one source. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning their capabilities to overhaul, test, package and upgrade the Superchargers for the purpose of the Coast Guard to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Organizations having the expertise and required capabilities to provide said item are invited to submit complete information disucussing such capabilities as follows: (i.e. salient physical, functional and serviceability, characteristics) 1) Show that they satisfactorily manufactured the item for the Government or the prime equipment manufacturer; 2) Submit complete and current engineering acceptability of the item. It is the Government's belief that only Coltec Industries Inc./Fairbanks Morse Engine Division can overhaul, test, package and upgrade the Superchargers to ensure proper fit, form, and function of all its components. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish said work are invited to submit complete information discussing such capabilities in duplicate within fifteen (15) days of this announcement. No cost or pricing information is required. This is not a Request for Proposals (RFP). The Government does not intend to pay for the information solicited. Responses must be concise and be specifically directed to the requirements mentioned above. Concerns that respond to the notice must fully demonstrate their capability to evaluate capability to meet the requirement. Adequate detailed data by which to evaluate capability should be sent to the attention of Sharon Jackson, Contract Specialist.
