PREAMBLE

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS: It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time- consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum, rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the contracting officer or Ombudsman.

Informal forum with the Ombudsman: Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the cognizant contracting officer. If the contracting officer is unable to satisfy the concerns, the interested party is encouraged to contact the USCG Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman:

solicitation/contract number, contracting office, contracting officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the contracting officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an independent review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103. If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. This will not preclude re-filing of the protest to meet the requirement. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer. The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202-372-3695 mailto:OPAP@uscg.mil mailto:OPAP@uscg.mil

PREAMBLE

The attached Request for Quote is issued pursuant to the commercial procedures of FAR Part 12. All Line Items are Firm Fixed Priced (FFP). Award determination will be made utilizing best value approach.

The Government intends to make multiple awards (up to five (5)) as a result of this solicitation. The contract ceiling for each award will be not greater than $4,000,000.00, inclusive of all options.

3.1 Work Statement.

3.1. Objective:

Design Studies and analyses must identify solutions for the Heavy Polar Icebreaker that minimize cost, schedule, production and technology risk. The overall objective of this procurement is to enable the Government to analyze input from Industry that will be used to refine the Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker System Specifications. This information will assist the Government in achieving an affordable solution that can be produced on an accelerated schedule. Industry input will be used to support the following Heavy Polar Icebreaker Industry Study objectives:

Affordability – Identify possible affordability initiatives for reducing acquisition costs as well as overall life cycle cost;

Producibility Risk – Consider producibility attributes early in the design and acquisition cycle, considering icebreaker unique design attributes;

Technology Risk – Make use of existing state of the market technology/ components with proven performance considering icebreaking and harsh environment operations;

Sustainability – Maximize reliability, maintainability and supportability over the service life of the vessel.

The Government seeks proposed systems approaches and alternatives that offer advantages in meeting the Heavy Polar Icebreaker Industry Study objectives of reduced production and technical risks, along with reduced acquisition and sustainment costs. The Contractor shall perform Design Studies and analyses addressing the topics outlined in Section 3.2 of this SOW focused on affordability. Using the Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker System Specification and the other listed references, the Contractor shall establish a Heavy Polar Icebreaker Baseline Design that represents a ship meeting the requirements of the Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker System Specification. The Contractor shall make every effort to identify areas and efficiencies within design, production, documentation and testing to reduce the acquisition cost,design a n d construction schedule for the vessel.

Through these industry studies, the Contractor shall conduct specific cost, schedule, production and technical studies to support validation and refinement of the Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker Specification.

The Industry Studies are divided into twelve parts. This approach is to ensure that the Heavy Polar Icebreaker Program receives study output as early as possible to provide the Government additional information to assist the Government in obtaining an affordable vessel with the required size and powering within the schedule and budget established for the program.

The Contractor shall use commercially available, state of the market and proven technologies. Component commonality with other U.S. Coast Guard Cutters is required. The Government intends to use the deliverables to refine the Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker System Specification, which may include recommended innovative methods and alternative standards.

3.2. Tasks:

The Contractor shall perform studies to evaluate proposed approaches against the objectives the Heavy Polar Icebreaker Program has specified herein. The Government is interested in proposed systems and approaches that meet the mission requirements as described in reference (3) and offer advantages in meeting the Heavy Polar Icebreaker Industry Study objectives. The Contractor shall address the relevant Draft Heavy Polar Icebreaker System Specification requirements, and identify opportunities for alternate requirements for meeting the mission requirements, while being affordable and producible.
