- Description
- Dive Boat Brand Name Sources Sought Dive Boat Brand Name Sources Sought This sources sought notice is in support of the N00024-18-R-2209 for the procurement of a 65' Dive Support Boat (65DS). The 65DS boat procurement will be for one (1) additional boat with brand name specific components that are the same as fourteen (14) previous dive support boats owned and maintained by the Government. This boat shall be a contractor design. While multiple sources will be solicited under this competitive small business set aside, the requirement specifies the following Brand Name items: *Cummins (Brand Name) for the diesel engines, quantity two (2); *ZF (Brand Name) for the marine gear, quantity two (2); *Appleton (Brand Name) for the articulating knuckle boom crane, quantity one (1); *Bauer (Brand Name) for the dive compressor, quantity one (1). Detailed rationale for the brand names requested are based upon the following justifications: •· The diesel engine, marine gear, and dive compressor brand name items standardize the equipment on the incoming dive boat to what is currently outfitted on fourteen (14) previous Dive Support boats and leverages the existing logistical support. Changes to these items could result in substantial duplication of cost that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Additional logistical support which may be impacted includes: maintenance planning and analysis; training and training support, including training equipment, curricula, and instruction materials; supply support; support equipment such as special tools and test equipment; technical documentation including technical manuals, Product Technical Description (PTD),, Technical Repair Standards (TRS), and software documentation; computer resource support; facilities for maintenance and training; unique packaging, handling, storage, and transportation requirements; and human engineering considerations. •· Major attributes of form, fit, function, interface, reliability, and/or material to achieve a specific performance of the system within which it is used, and the boat as a whole. Changes to the existing configuration will nullify any existing operational data and lessons learned while increasing the risk of not meeting requirements and/or new issues occurring. These issues would require additional resources to resolve and increase total ownership costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition. The Bauer compressor provides the capacity, reliability, and operational requirements integral to the dive support capability of the boat. The Cummins diesel engine and ZF marine gear interface with each other and the drive shaft. Changes to the existing configuration will nullify any existing operational data and lessons learned while increasing the risk of not meeting requirements and/or new issues occurring. These issues would require additional resources to resolve and increase total ownership costs that are not expected to be recovered through competition. The following descriptions apply: o These items have been proven through use on previous Dive Support boats to be sufficiently robust to support the expected 24-hour/day, 7 day/week, 25-30 years mission of the 65DS. o Input power, capacity, and other operating requirements for the integration of these items into existing boats have been selected based on requirements of the boat's mission. o Output power, capacity, and other performance parameters of these items have been selected to meet requirements of the boat's mission. •· The Appleton crane meets the end user crane engineering group's requirements for initial acceptance and annual re-certification. The crane provides the performance requirements integral to the dive support capability of the boat. This was the only crane that met the end user requirement for an American Petroleum Institute API 2C certification within the specified size range. The end user determined that the API 2C certification is necessary for initial approval and annual recertification by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) Crane Engineering Group.
