Berman oil pollution incident. The system to be purchased shall include software license for the twenty claims division employees; source code; system design and definition documents; system flowcharts; data dictionary and system and user manuals. The system shall be delivered to the U. S. Coast Guard, National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC), 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1000, Arlington, VA by July 31, 1998. The NPFC's need for this database is extremely time critical; therefore, it is imperative that the system be delivered in a ready to use form. The development of the system must be complete at the time of delivery. The period of performance of the resulting contract will be from the date of award through September 30, 1998. No options will be included. This contractual action is expected to be executed using "Other Than Full and Open Competition", as defined by FAR 6.302-1 if the Coast Guard determines that only one source is capable of satisfying the requirements. The sole source for this requirement is Hull and Cargo Surveyors, Inc., 2175 E. Francisco Boulevard, Suite A-5, San Rafael, CA 94901, because their system already contains approximately 900 of the NPFC's adjudicated claims, with payments to claimants valued at over $6 million, standard correspondence, canned reports and ticklers. All responsible sources may respond to this synopsis and shall be considered by the Coast Guard. Telephone inquiries for a copy of the solicitation will not be accepted. Written request may be submitted to the address indicated in this publication and facsimile requests may be sent to the attention of Ms. Connie Mease at (202) 267-4019. Information provided by responsible sources shall not constitute a proposal. The Government does not intend to pay for the information received. Any interested sources must submit the appropriate data within 30 days from the date this synopsis is published in the Commerce Business Daily (CBD). See Numbered Notes 22 and 26. (0169)
