USCG Response Boat – Small (RB-S) Demonstrator Requirements Document

INTRO

• The primary requirement is the demonstrator boat be accepted in 90 days following award. The remaining requirements or attributes have flexibility. The closer a proposed boat is to the listed requirements and attributes, the more likely it will compete well for one of the four demonstrator boat contracts.

• The demonstrator boats will provide an opportunity to see if the requirements are achievable, and if some of the attributes are reasonable to include.

• Proposals that include features beyond what is listed in this document as requirements or attributes, that positively influence mission success to include crew endurance, will receive positive consideration to support verifying if the features or attributes actually contribute to mission success or crew endurance without unacceptably detracting from other requirements.

• The demonstrator boats are being purchased to explore the available designs and features that are achievable on a boat of this size, that would positively influence mission success.

• Elements in the requirements document are marked (R) Required, or (A) Attribute. A Required item must be fully met to be eligible for award. Proposals that include features or innovations beyond the minimum Required elements or Attributes will be rated more favorably, particularly if they convincingly enhance mission performance, reduce crew fatigue, or lower life-cycle costs.
