NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

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 applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard 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. 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 to:

DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUIREMENT

This acquisition is for maintenance and support services and OEM parts for the American Aero CG300 Ocean master Cranes and associated equipment. Also included in this acquisition are OEM Technical services and OEM parts for all repairs/replacements when needed.

The Coast Guard currently has a requirement to overhaul and repair American Aero CG300 Ocean master Cranes, which are configured on the WLIC 160’ and 75’ cutters. Estimated job quantities vary from 1-3 for the base and each option year and will depend on the cutter availabilities and individual cutter needs. The repairs and overhauls must be conducted in accordance with OEM specification and standards in order to ensure operability and proper warranty of the equipment. It is anticipated to award a firm fixed price requirements contract with the following Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs):

CLIN 001: CG-300 Equipment and Components, Inspect and Service CLIN 002: CG-300 Upper Works Equipment and Components, Inspect and Service CLIN 003: CG-300 Boom, Inspect and Service CLIN 004: CG-300 Provide Technical On-Site Support and Diagnostics

These cranes are the primary equipment used onboard the WLIC 160’ and 75’ Buoy and construction tenders, and are critical in the removal and renewal of aids to navigation. Failure of the system and associated equipment could cause equipment damage, loss of vessel operational hours and possible personnel injury.

The contractor shall provide a certified technical representative which is necessary to ensure performance of the specification tasks in accordance with the OEM-requirements and quality standards. It is estimated four or five cutters will be serviced throughout each year with each cutter requiring the activation of one or more of the line items noted in the table below. Exact quantities will depend on the cutter availabilities and individual cutter needs.

The Coast Guard has determined, consistent with 13.501(a)(1)(ii), that there is only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 1901 & 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), as implemented as FAR Part 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Sparrows Offshore LLC. Technical data necessary for performance is proprietary to the OEM.

Block 25: Accounting and Appropriation Data: Accounting and appropriation data for obligations under this contract will be set forth in individual TO’s.

CONTRACT PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE

The performance period for this requirement includes one base year and four option years. The base period of this requirements contract will begin on date of award through twelve months thereafter. The first year option period, if exercised by the Government, is a 12-month period that will occur consecutively following the base year. The second year option period, if exercised by the Government, is a 12-month period that will occur consecutively following the first option period. The third year option period, if exercised by the Government, is a 12-month period that will occur consecutively following the second option year. The fourth year option period, if exercised by the Government, is a 12-month period that will occur consecutively following the third option year.

Place of Performance: Services will be performed at the contractor’s facilities and on-board the cutters (CONUS).

Extent of Obligation: The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under this Contract. The quantities specified in this solicitation are only an estimate. The Government may order more or less depending on actual needs.

Ordering: The U.S. Coast Guard will issue individual delivery/task order(s) for the services outlined in the CLINS & work specification as authorized by the Contracting Officer. Individual Delivery/Task Orders will be placed on a firm Fixed Price basis, based on the successful quote for each CLIN in the base period and the following option years. Orders may be issued by mail, e-mail, and orally (followed up in writing).

Individuals Authorized to Place Orders: Any warranted Contracting Officer at the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center will be authorized to place orders against this IDIQ.

Anticipated award date: The contract is expected to be awarded approximately 2 October 2015.

These conditions must be brought to the attention of the Coast Guard using a CFR. Details provided by the Contractor in a CFR are important because the CFR may result in a contract change.

The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this contract, and, notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, said authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer.
