Attachment A-Technical Capability Statement RFQ.docx

This is a Technical Capability Statement attachment to a Request for Quote (RFQ) for repair services of a Cummins Diesel Generator Model DQGAF. The solicitation, issued by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) under Solicitation Number N4215826QE079, seeks repair of one inoperable diesel generator at Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) in Portsmouth, Virginia. The generator's radiator is leaking and requires repair in accordance with the associated Statement of Work (SOW). The repair work is being procured on a sole-source basis exclusively from Cummins Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer, as third-party vendors will not be considered for award. The government emphasizes that only OEM or OEM-authorized personnel are qualified to perform the repairs, as unauthorized facilities risk equipment malfunction, unsafe operating conditions, or premature failure. The specialized nature of the work requires OEM-certified technicians with access to proprietary diagnostic software, technical data, and repair procedures.

Vendors responding to this solicitation must complete and submit this Technical Capability Statement with their quote, certifying by initialing that their item meets or exceeds all specifications and contractor responsibilities stated in the solicitation with no exceptions. The government has indicated that delays in repair completion may result in schedule impacts estimated at up to $25,000 per day, as the generator is critical for supporting undocking operations and backup power for nuclear loads with no spare unit available. The anticipated award will be Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) to Cummins Inc. on a sole-source basis.
