- N00164-18-S-NB61- REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI)/SOURCES SOUGHT - TR-333 HYDROPHONE HOUSING AND BAFFLE RING - FSC 5845 - NAICS 332710 Issue Date: 15 MARCH 2018 - Closing Date: 05 APRIL 2018 - 2:00 PM EDT REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) - The Government is issuing this RFI/sources sought announcement as part of market research for TR-333 Hydrophone Housings (P/N 6029163-301), and Hydrophone Baffle Ring (P/N 6029156-301) used in the manufacture of US and UK hydrophones for the SP24 TRIDENT. They are to be used as replacement assets during normal refit/replenish/replacement operations. Housings and Baffle Rings can be delivered, along with production test and inspection data for each and shall generate and submit Certificates of Compliance to the government with each shipment of housings and baffle rings. For review of technical requirements, please see attached drawings 6029163 and 6029156. In order to access these drawings, vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and in the Joint Certification Program (JCP). More information about the JCP is located at https://public.logisticsinformationservice.dla.mil/PublicHome/jcp/default.aspx. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division located at Naval Support Activity, Crane, IN intends to award a sole source contract to the current certified source, JSW Machine Inc., 501 S Airport Street, Terre Haute, IN 47803-9705, (CAGE 0Y858). This effort will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. The basis for restricting competition to the Hydrophone Window and Cables is to avoid roughly $3.6 million in cost duplication and prevent as much as two years unnecessary schedule impact. The program requires critical component suppliers to go through an extensive qualification plan, to include inspection, certification, first article testing, and operational testing. The Government has expended considerable effort and expense to develop the current certified source. The estimated cost to restore capability if a different vendor's Hydrophone Window and cabling is procured is projected to be roughly $3.6 million higher than the proposed cost to utilize an existing certified source. In accordance with Department of Defense FAR Supplement (DFARS) Procedures, Guidance, and Information (PGI) 206.302-1, the Government is accepting information from companies potentially capable of meeting the requirements as described above. Companies with the capabilities and facilities to provide components that meet the Government's requirement and certification requirements for TR-333 Hydrophone Housing and Baffle Ring may respond. Responses shall address how the Government can offset the estimated $3.6 million in cost duplication and the schedule delay that are anticipated to result if a new source is utilized. Responses shall include availability, budgetary cost estimate, and lead time of the solution. All interested parties may submit company and product literature, a white paper no longer than 5 pages, and/or other pertinent information, such as a description with performance parameters and a statement of current availability, summary of prior testing, test reports, a budgetary estimate of test articles, production units, production quantity breaks, an explanation as to why the Government should not procure this effort on a sole source basis as stated above given the significant Government investment in the existing TR-333 Hydrophone Housing and Baffle Ring. Responses to the Market Survey shall include the following: Submitter's Name Street Address, City, State, Zip Code Business Size Point of Contact (POC) POC Telephone Announcement Number: N00164-18-S-NB47 Please include the purpose/explanation of the response to the Market Survey, i.e. to better understand the Government requirements; to potentially become a viable source for future requirements; to take exception to the anticipated sole source as your company currently meets all of the Government requirements and can successfully offset the projected cost duplication and schedule delays. The Government may contact RFI respondents to get clarification on the information submitted. Contractors must be properly registered in the Government System for Award Management database (SAM). Contractors may obtain information on SAM registration and annual confirmation of requirements by calling 1-866-606-8220, or via the internet at www.sam.gov. At the current time, NO FUNDING IS AVAILABLE for contractual efforts. This RFI/sources sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids (IFB), a Request for Quote (RFQ), or a Request for Proposal (RFP) and it should not be construed as a commitment of any kind by the government to issue a formal solicitation or ultimately award a contract. The US Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse any companies or entities that respond to this announcement. Any costs incurred by interested companies in response to this announcement will NOT be reimbursed. Market Survey information may be submitted to the Point of Contact (POC) any time prior to the expiration of this announcement. The POC for this effort is Steven.Junkins1@navy.mil or 812-854-8833. The mailing address is: NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane Attention Steven Junkins, Code 0221, Bldg 121 300 Highway 361, Crane, IN 47522-5001.
