TITLE:

Time of Performance

If there is a need to extend the dry-docking period to accomplish a work item or work items will the Coast Guard consider extending the Period of Performance?

RESPONSE:

The USCG is not able to change the period of performance at this time. The USCG’s strong preference is to complete all work inside of the stated period of performance.

Bidders may, however, submit the following recommendations to the USCG for consideration by 1200 on 30 May 2022:

a) Recommend specific changes to the period of performance that will allow for the completion of all work items; or

b) Recommend specific changes to the scope of certain work items so that all work items are completed inside of the USCG’s required period of performance.

Bidders should include with their recommendations detailed explanations for the proposed change.

TITLE: Requirements after first task order PARA NO.

Section 20 of SF 1449 seems vague on the requirements after the First Task Order. Please clarify what the requirements are after the POP ending on 04/02/2023? Will USCG unilaterally direct work after the POP?

RESPONSE:

There could be additional requirements that might come up during the Healy availability such as change requests (CRs) on the task order; any CRs (agreed to by the government & vendor) would be incorporated into the Healy task order via modification or added to the contract via another task order. No, the USCG will not unilaterally direct work after the

POP.

QUESTION:

Regarding underwater hull paint for the USCG, The Coast Guard has a sole-source product from International Paint called Inerta #160. A previous order for this was submitted on March 14th and we are just getting 1/2 of our order now. The other 1/2 cannot be supplied until August at best. In order to avoid delays, the Coast Guard has authorized emergency use of an alternative product.

We can’t make finish goods without the raw material so we are at the mercy of the supplier. Reformulation isn’t really an option in the short run for products such as Inerta. Anticipating demand months in advance is no longer happening for specialty items due to current market conditions.

We would like to process a purchase order for the material as soon as possible after any award. The sooner material is shipped to us the better. That may mean sitting on the material for a few months while the actual DD dates are confirmed.

Please advise if USCG is aware of this pending issue and if USCG has a workaround if this becomes long lead time material.

U/W Body Preserve 100% The Coast Guard is aware of the issues encountered with sourcing International Intershield 163 Inerta 160 for CGC POLAR STAR, and we acknowledge concern with sourcing this paint for CGC HEALY.

Question: Could the Coast Guard clarify the performance period wording?

Response: The current wording notes: Ordering period of this contract will be from date of award through 31 December 2023. First task order’s period of performance is from 01 December 2022 through 02 April 2023.

The ordering period of the parent indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) is from date of award through 31 December 2023. The Coast Guard cutter (CGC) Healy FY23 dry-dock is the only availability projected for this contract. It is projected that a task order for the CGC Healy dry-dock will be issued as soon as possible after award of the IDIQ. The availability period of performance for the CG Healy dry-dock is 1 December 2022 – 2 April 2023.

The IDIQ contract is just an ordering vehicle noting the range of time within which an order can be placed.

When a funded task order is issued, while it is effective on the date of the order, the specific performance period for the given availability is stated in the order.
