DISCLAIMER:

This notice is not a solicitation announcement and does not constitute a request for proposal, request for quote, or invitation for bid. This is a sources sought announcement only. This notice is a market research tool being utilized for preliminary planning purposes to identify potential sources (large and small) and to seek information on the commercial availability of this weight handling equipment. The information received will be used within Naval Facilities Engineering Command Systems (NAVFACSYSCOM) Atlantic / Navy Crane Center, Portsmouth, VA to facilitate the decision-making process.

This notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government and no contract will be awarded from this announcement. There will not be a solicitation, specifications, or drawings available at this time.

It is anticipated that a formal solicitation will be announced later. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement.

PURPOSE:

NAVFACSYSCOM Atlantic / Navy Crane Center is currently determining specific mission requirements for the Yokose Fuel Terminal at US Fleet Activities, Sasebo, Japan. This notice seeks information on industry capability to provide the following capacity mobile boat hoists:

ONE 150 METRIC TON MOBILE BOAT HOIST

The mobile boat hoists shall be designed, fabricated, tested (pre-shipment), shipped, reassembled, tested (post-delivery) and made ready for use at US Fleet Activities Sasebo, Japan.

ONE 300 METRIC TON MOBILE BOAT HOIST

The mobile boat hoists shall be designed, fabricated, tested (pre-shipment), shipped, reassembled, tested (post-delivery) and made ready for use at US Fleet Activities Sasebo, Japan.

Information submitted on your capability must include the ability to design and build a mobile boat hoist with the following requirements: 1) In order to accommodate intended loads to be lifted, the dimensions and locations of the transverse beams shall be designed to explicitly align with the load attachment points without the use of a spreader beam due to overhead clearance concerns; and 2) Hook blocks shall be mounted directly on the forward and aft transverse beams to accomplish this.

Procurement of the above mobile boat hoist is intended to consist of a commercially available product to be used and stored in an outdoor environment. The mobile boat hoist shall be built to the design drawings of a licensed Professional Engineer (PE).

Note: The Government intends to procure one of the above-listed mobile boat hoists for this activity in the future. Respondents are encouraged to provide the requested information on their capability to provide both capacities to assist the Government in its final capacity determination.

The appropriate NAICS Code is 333923 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. All interested businesses (large or small) are encouraged to respond to this notice.

Upon review of industry response to this notice, the Government will determine the following: 1) capacity that best suits the needs of the Government; 2) whether a set-aside acquisition in lieu of full and open competition is in the Government’s best interest; and 3) if this requirement is available in the commercial market.
