- Description
- Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) hereby provides a notice of intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to SINTEF Ocean AS. Product/Service: The requirement is for the payment of annual software maintenance service fees for two (2) seat licenses of VERES (VEssel RESponse) and ShipX Workbench. This program is a strip theory, frequency domain program used for the simulation of vessel motions and global loads. Authority: This sole source contracting action is in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1), which allows for soliciting from a single source when the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Justification: It is the belief of the government that SINTEF Ocean AS is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement. VERES is a unique program that combines linear seakeeping analysis, structural loading, and slamming. The software has been in use by the USCG for over a decade, and the agency maintains multiple built-in models of its ships and boats. Market research indicates that no other commercially available software offers the combined capabilities of structural loading analysis, davit motion analysis, crane acceleration evaluation, and comprehensive seakeeping simulations in a single package. The full justification is attached to this notice. Vendor: SINTEF Ocean AS Address: Postboks 4762 Torgard NO-7465 Trondheim, NORWAY UEI: FQP1MFLHNWC3 NAICS Code: 519290 (All Other Information Services) Total Estimated Value: $35,000.00 This notice constitutes a synopsis of the requirement. Responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and would not hinder the mission objectives of the USCG. The determination not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive solicitation for future requirements. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals. Point of Contact: Questions or comments regarding this Notice of Intent should be directed via e-mail only to the Contracting Officer, Joshua Richardson, at Joshua.C.Richardson2@uscg.mil. No phone calls will be accepted.
