12-D-8023 J&A Amendment 4

Added: Apr 25, 2014 8:54 am GE Energy Power Conversion was awarded Contract N00033-12-D-8023 on an other than full and open competition basis for engineering services in support of the T-AKE Class vessels. It is an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity type contract with firm-fixed-price task orders. The contract is currently in Option Period One. GE Energy Power Conversion provides maintenance and support of the Machinery Plant Systems/Components and Machinery Centralized Control System (MCCS) on the T-AKE Class vessels. Services under the resulting contract include periodic equipment grooms, technical representative visits, telephone consultations, remote technical support via e-mail and phone, hardware and software configuration management services, new/overhauled parts supply, and training. The major systems/components of the T-AKE Class vessels covered under the contract include the MCCS, propulsion control system, propulsion motor, propulsion transformers & heat exchangers, ship's service transformers, and switchboards.

The services required under this contract are a unique combination of logistic, material, engineering, field support, and automation control which are all specific to the T-AKE Class vessel. The required services are proprietary in nature to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), GE Energy Power Conversion. GE Energy Power Conversion holds the privileges to the data required to provide the necessary parts, and also holds all the proprietary rights for the electrical propulsion drive software and MCCS updates. As the OEM, GE Energy Power Conversion precludes MSC from using another source for these services.

J&A Amendment 0004 will increase the material amount for Option Period One.
