20 -- TRAILERS FOR 42 FOOT PCC AND 48 FOOT PCC SOL N00024-97-R-2206 DUE 021497 POC Chris Sherman, Contract Specialist, (703) 602-3102, Stephen V. Piasecki, Contracting Officer, (703) 602-3102 The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to issue a sole source contract to Long Trailer Co., Inc., Tarboro, NC, to build two (2) trailers for 42 foot Patrol Craft Coastal (PCC) and one (1) trailer for 48 foot PCC for a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customer. As a result of a market survey, Long Trailer Co., Inc. has been identified as the only capable source who would meet the requirements for these trailers. The trailers shall be NMMA certified, constructed of commercial heavy duty galvanized steel (hot dipped) or aluminum, be suitable for use in salt water, be suitable for hauling over paved roads at speeds up to 60 kilometers per hour, and include all necessary electrical and mechanical equipment for connection to a tractor (Military truck M916A1) pintle hitch. The trailers, with technical and operational manuals, are to be delivered six (6) months after contract award. None of the PCCs are available for test fitting or trailer demonstration. Therefore assurance tests may be required prior to acceptance of the trailers. The contractor may be required to provide a representative in Egypt at the time of delivery. This will be a FAR Part 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Items) procurement. See Numbered Note(s) 22. (0355)
