The items to be purchased are: (1) _ 1 _ ECPINS 4200-4000 System, P/N 3-094200-010; (2) _ 1 _ ECPINS 6200-6000 System, P/N 3-096200-010; (3) _ 1 _ Hardware, software and engineering to provide WLB 206-ECP-016 enhancements for ECPINS 4200 and ECPINS 6200 software; (4) _ 1 Installation and set-to-work (up to 3 days); (5) _ 1 Freight and shipping. This system will be used by each of the 11 remaining WLB crews to plan the route to their homeports. The advanced technology of the ECPINS system mandates the training to be conducted on the same systems as used on the vessels. This procurement will provide the same hardware and software system being used on the vessels and will allow the ships crew to completely plan their way-points, layovers and sailing route during the period immediately prior to delivery of the vessel. The proprietary nature of the ECPINS software and hardware prevents the use of another vendor_s software or hardware. Offerors who can furnish the same items listed above may submit, in writing, a proposal substantiated by technical data, brochures, pictures, etc., to include pricing data. Specifications, plans or drawings relating to this procurement are not available and cannot be provided by the Government. All responses must be received within 15 calendar days of this CBD notice, addressed to Commandant (G-ACS-1A/LM), U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street, SW, Washington, DC 20593-0001, ATTN: Linda Mullen.

As a result of analyzing responses to this synopsis of intent, the Contracting Officer may determine that the action may be competed.
