DeWitt, Ph: (202) 267-2526/Contracting Officer: Darren L. Brown, Ph: (202) 267-2506 THIS IS A MARKET SURVEY. The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a market survey to determine whether there are any companies that may provide the following "brand name or equal" optics and components: items: DCB-24 beacons (B4313W), DCB-224 beacons (B4813W), DCB-224 beacons (B4814WW), RL24 lanterns (RL4816W1K-A), Speed Reducers (8887) and lampchangers (LC8949-A). the rotating beacons, in conjunction with a standard Coast Guard lamp, provide a pencil beam light which is rotated to sweep the horizon in lighthouse applications. These beacons have a visible range of up to 26 nautical miles. They are used at unmanned sites with an annual maintenance cycle. the RL24 range lanterns uses the same optical assembly as the rotating beacons, mounted on a stationary pedestal. It provides a high-intensity pencil beam which may be used to mark channels in excess of 10 nautical miles at night and for shorter lengths in day light. Companies that have beacons, lanterns, speed reducers and lampchangers that they believe can meet or exceed the above mentioned performance capabilities are invited to send information about their product to the above stated address. Interested firms should submit a statement of interest and capabilities, including brochures and descriptive literature on services now performed that most closely fit the above characteristics. The Government will review all submitted statements of capabilities to determine market availability of the required service. The Government does not have access to the proprietary data necessary to perform this work. Submit you information no later than January 13, 1997. NOTE; THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION FOR PROPOSALS OR AN INVITATION FOR BIDS. THIS IS ONLY A MARKET SURVEY. (0354)
