- Description
- Potential Sources Sought. The Coast Guard is seeking qualified sources that can provide sixteen (16) each 25-person Mark VII Life Rafts manufactured by RFD Beaufort, Inc. This will be a stand-alone one-time buy contract. The RFD Beaufort, Inc. manufactured Life Rafts are the only US Navy and Coast Guard approved rafts. The Allowance Equipage List 2-958321002 dated 13 April 2004 specifically requires this life raft for the 210? WMEC. Delivery instructions for the life raft are as follows: Four (4) each of the Life Rafts shall be delivered to: Commanding Officer, USCGC RELIANCE c/o Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Portsmouth, NH 03804-5000 Four (4) each of the Life Rafts shall be delivered to: Commanding Officer, USCGC ALERT c/o Receiving Officer 14 S. Massachusetts Street Seattle, WA 98134-1192 Four (4) each of the Life Rafts shall be delivered to: Commanding Officer, USCGC STEADFAST c/o Receiving Officer 14 S. Massachusetts Street Seattle, WA 98134-1192 Four (4) each of the Life Rafts shall be delivered to: Commanding Officer, USCGC ACTIVE c/o Receiving Officer 14 S. Massachusetts Street Seattle, WA 98134-1192 This will be other than full and open competition using OEM RFD Beaufort, Inc. Technical data and/or drawings pertaining to RFD Beaufort, Inc. parts are not available to the Government and are propriety to the OEM. Accordingly, it is believed that this non-availability of technical data precludes the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistic Center from obtaining competition, as they are available from one source. However, other potential sources can submit information concerning their capability to supply the parts for the purpose of the U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistic Center to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Organizations having the expertise and required capabilities to provide the items are invited to submit complete information discussing such capabilities as follows: (i.e. salient physical functional and serviceability characteristics) (1) show that they satisfactorily manufactured the parts for the Government or the prime equipment manufacturer; or (2) submit complete and current engineering data comparing the offered parts to the OEM to demonstrate the acceptability of the parts. The submission of technical data packages for review shall not impede the award. It is the Government?s belief that only RFD Beaufort, Inc., the manufacturer of the Mark VII life raft can furnish the required parts and ensure the proper fit, form and function of all its components. The US Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center does not possess the technical expertise to evaluate the parts of an alternate product. Other concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above items are invited to submit complete information discussing capabilities in duplicate within fifteen (15) days of this announcement. No cost or pricing information is required. ***This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP)***. The Government does not intend to pay for this information solicited. Responses must be concise and be specifically directed to the requirement mentioned above. Concerns that respond to the notice must fully demonstrate their capabilities to meet the requirements. Adequate detailed data by which to evaluate capabilities should be sent to the attention of Rachelle J. Stanley, Contract Specialist (CODE 044). See number notes 22, and 26*****
