- Description
- This is not a solicitation announcement. This is a sources sought notice only. This is NOT a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. The purpose of this sources sought notice is to gain knowledge of commercially available repair services that may be of interest to the United States Coast Guard (USCG). The USCG Aviation Logistics Center is conducting market research to determine manufacturers and suppliers described as follows: Repair the APS-143C(V)3 OceaneyeTM Maritime Surveillance and Imaging Radar system that is manufactured by Telephonics and utilized on the HC-144A model aircraft. For this sources sought notice the radar system consists of the following sub-systems: antenna pedestal, signal data processor, and receiver-transmitter. All of these components are contained in various racks inside of the aircraft, except the antenna sub-system, which is contained within the radome. Other components associated with this system, but not included in this sources sought notice, are: multi-function display units which are contained in the aircraft cockpit and the Mission System Pallet, and power supplies which are contained in various locations in the aircraft. While failure to provide repaired parts would not ultimately result in grounded aircraft, it does limit the missions the aircraft can perform. Search and rescue missions would be able to be performed at a reduced level of effectiveness, and the law enforcement mission would be even more limited. This radar system provides the capability to detect and track targets at long range for the search and surveillance missions. This requirement is necessary to allow the USCG to maintain the capability to adequately support their deployed aircraft and carry out their assigned missions. The OEM for this radar system is Telephonics Corporation, 815 Broadhollow Road, Farmingdale, NY 11735. The USCG will NOT be able to provide manuals or drawings for this requirement. Interested parties must have access to the OEM data and manuals. Responses to this notice should include company name, address, telephone number, point of contact (POC), and complete details, brochures, and etc. which will allow the USCG to understand your repair service, configurations, auxiliary equipment, and options. Also, state the approximate lead-time for acquiring your repair service. Please provide the details and terms of any standard warranty included with the repair service. Indicate whether and how your company has access to the OEM data and manuals. Additionally detail if this radar system has been qualified for use in any DOD or Federal Government Aircraft. The Government believes the applicable NAICS code is 334511 -- Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. Please respond to the following questions: (1) Is your business a large or small business and how many employees? (2) If small, does your firm qualify as a small, emergent business, or a small, disadvantaged business? (3) If disadvantaged, specify under which disadvantaged group and is your firm certified under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act? (4) Is your firm a certified HUBZone firm? (5) Is your firm a woman-owned or operated business? (6) Is your firm a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned? (7) Is your product listed on a GSA schedule? (8) Do you have other government agencies using the service, and if so which agencies, POCs and contract numbers? (9) If possible, any POCs for civilian users for general usage of service questions. After the review of the responses to this sources sought notice, and if the Government still plans to proceed with the acquisition, a solicitation announcement will be published in the Federal Business Opportunities web site: https://www.fbo.gov/. A response to this sources sought notice is not an adequate response to any future solicitation announcement. All interested offerors will have to respond to the solicitation in addition to responding to this sources sought notice. Again, this is not a request for proposals and in no way obligates the Government to award any contract. Responses to this sources sought notice shall be faxed to Tonya Bush at 252-334-5427, U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (MRS), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, 27909-5001 or e-mailed to Tonya.W.Bush@uscg.mil. TELEPHONE RESPONSES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. Responses must be received no later than 03 May 2010 at 3:45 P.M. Eastern Time. Firms responding to this announcement that fail to provide all of the required information cannot be used to help the Government make the appropriate acquisition decisions which is the intent of this sources sought notice. This notice is to help the USCG in determining potential sources only. All firms responding to this sources sought notice are advised that their response to this notice is not a request to be considered for a contract award. All interested parties must respond to that solicitation announcement separately from the responses to this notice. A response to this sources sought notice is NOT a request to be added to a prospective offerors list or to receive a copy of the solicitation.
