- Description
- SOW This is a Sources Sought Notice. In preparation for an upcoming procurement, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Eastern Region Acquisition Division, Norfolk, VA on behalf of the Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO), Norfolk, VA is conducting market research to determine potential sources for construction of a ship set of dual point davit equipment for launching and recovering two Hydrographic Survey Launches (HSLs) on the NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson.. The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code is 333923, Overhead Traveling Crane, Hoist, and Monorail System Manufacturing. The small business size standard for this NAICS code is 500 employees. All types of business concerns are encouraged to submit a brief, typed Capability Statement in response to this sources sought announcement. NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson is a hydrographic survey vessel that was built by Halter Marine in 1991 as USNS Littlehales in accordance with the standing version of references 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson currently retains her ABS Class. To carry out its mission, the ship currently utilizes two 31 foot long Hydrographic Survey Launches (HSLs) stored, launched, and recovered by a pair of Schat-Harding Davits. As designed the two davits are powered by one hydraulic power unit. This arrangement is beneficial to the ship as it keeps the ship's electrical load low, and the ship does not have the manpower to launch or recover two boats at once. NOAA has two additional hydrographic survey vessels (NOAA Ship Fairweather and Rainier) which use 28 foot long HSLs. Recently, the davits on these ships were upgrade to independent davits manufactured by Vest Davit. Along with the upgrade of the HSL davit system, NOAA plans to standardized the ship's current HSLs with 28 foot long HSLs similar to NOAA Ship Fairweather's and Rainier's HSLs. This requirement is to provide construction of a ship set of dual point davit equipment for launching and recovering two Hydrographic Survey Launches (HSLs), including all associated mechanical, electrical and hydraulic components, sub-assemblies and assemblies as a complete dual point davit system meeting the requirements of the draft specification attached. Standard brochures will not be considered a sufficient response to this notice.
