About this file
This document is a Questions and Responses presolicitation file (No. 70Z02326R93250001) from the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for a boat demonstration project. The document details five key clarifications about the contract requirements, including watertightness specifications for hull components, testing standards (ISO 12216), and specific operational requirements. Key details include a firm 90-day delivery requirement, the need for a dedicated technician during the three-month demonstration period, and a specification for gasoline outboard engines. The USCG expects offerors to meet precise technical standards, with watertightness requirements for hull components, hatches, decks, and bulkheads at degree 1, and doors, cabins, windows, and consoles at a minimum degree 2, to be verified through ISO 12216 testing protocols.

Presolicitation No. 70Z02326R93250001 QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES
No. Questions Response
Is it the USCG's intent that all cabin windows and doors will withstand continuous immersion in water?
No, The requirements are being revised and are expectd to be:
• Hull, hatches, decks, and watertight bulkheads shall meet watertightness degree 1.
• Doors, cabins, windows, and consoles shall meet a minimum watertightness degree of 2.
If so (related to question 1), what documentation or testing does the USCG expect to require to demonstrate compliance with this requirement?
Testing and documentation will adhere to ISO 12216 for watertightness degrees 1 through 3.
The Coast Guard anticpates use of a hose test with minor allowable leakage for watertightness degree 2, and no leakage for watertighnss degree 1.
3 Is it the governments intention to have a dedicated technician on hand M-F for the entire 3 months?
Yes, we plan to require the Offeror to provide a dedicated technician for a period of three months during the demonstration event.
This requirement is to keep the demo boats fully operational during the demo period.
4 Is the delivery and acceptance requirement 90 days from award?
Yes.
The delivery requirment is firm. Offerors who can deliver a boat within 90 days, that may not meet all of the other attributres are still encouraged to submit a proposal. Offerors that do not meet all of the attributes will be at a competetive disadvantage for a demo boat award.
5 Will the Coast Guard consider using or allowing diesel outboard engine. No. The requirment is for gasoline outboards.
