Description

Potential sources sought. The Coast Guard has a requirement to purchase Mathers Controls pitch positioners Part No. in support of 210's Coast Guard vessels. Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to the Mathers Controls pitch positioners are not available within the Government and are proprietary to Mathers Controls Inc.. It is believed that this non-availability of technical data precludes the U. S. Coast Guard from obtaining competition, as the Mathers Control positioners are available from one source only. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning their capability to supply the parts for the purpose of the U.S. Coast Guard to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. The procurement involves pitch positioners being procured from the prime equipment manufacture or its actual supplier, and others proposing to manufacture the parts must either: 1) Data that the offered parts have been satisfactorily manufacturer; or 2) Complete and current engineering data to demonstrate the acceptability of the offered parts (i.e., salient physical, functional and serviceability characteristics). The submission of technical data package for review shall not impede the award of this requirements type contract, but will qualify the proposer for follow on acquisitions of the specific part numbers offered. It is the Government belief that only Mathers Controls, Inc., the manufacture of the pitch positioner, or/or its dealers and distributors can furnish the required parts and ensure proper fit, form and function of all its components. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above items are invited to submit complete information discussing such capabilities in duplicate within 15 days of this announcement. No cost or pricing data is required. This is not a RFP. The Government does not intend to pay for information solicited. Responses must be concise and specifically directed to the requirement mentioned above. Concerns that respond to this notice must fully demonstrate the capability to accomplish the above and are to supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate a bonafide capability to meet the requirements. Adequate detailed data by which to evaluate capability should be sent to the attention of Patricia Dobbins at the address indicated above. See Numbered Note 22*****
