E-MAIL: Kathy Fields, kfields@elcbalt.uscg.mil. POTENTIAL SOURCES SOUGHT. The U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center has a requirement to establish a program for 45 different types of Fairbanks Morse Engine Division, BF Goodrich Company Replacement Parts Kits for the Model 251 Diesel Engines used on the 210' and 270' WMEC and 400'WAGB Class Coast Guard Vessels. The Form, Fit and Function of these kits must be exactly compatible with the end item or system for which it is intended for on the Diesel Engine. This is critical to the end item or system functional characteristics. It is the Government's belief that only Fairbanks Morse Engine Division, BF Goodrich Company and their authorized distributors can provide the required engine replacement parts. However, other potential sources having the expertise and required capabilities to provide other than Fairbanks Morse Engine Division, BF Goodrich Company parts can submit information discussing the same in duplicate within 15 days from the date of this announcement. The following information mustbe provided to evaluate the acceptability of the offered engine parts: 1) Complete and current engineering data to demonstrate the acceptability of the offered engine parts (i.e. salient physical, functional and serviceability characteristics, or 2) data that the offered engine parts have been satisfactorily manufactured for the government or the original equipment manufacturer. No cost or pricing data is required. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. This synopsis is issued pursuant to FAR 5.207(e)(3) and TAM 1205.207. See numbered Note 22.
