Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division, Coastal Systems Station, Panama City, Florida, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to United States Marine, Inc. (USMI) of New Orleans, LA., to acquire and install up to twelve (12) marine diesel engines, identified through an extensive market survey and reliability/suitability selection process for potential replacement engines on the CAC. This acquisition is not suitable for full and open competition for the following reasons: The Government does not own detailed design or depot level repair documentation for the CAC. Since the inception of the CAC Program, USMI has been the lead designer, fabricator, systems integrator and test facility for the hull design and propulsion systems. As such, USMI is the only source that has the unique knowledge base, the internal technical data and the experienced personnel to successfully perform this effort. Note 22 applies.
