Boat Propulsion Upgrade

Added: Aug 31, 2017 6:05 pm Hurlburt Field AFB, FL, intends to solicit, evaluate, and award on a sole source basis a contract to Silver Ships to retrofit a target tow vessel in accordance with the attached statement of work.
This modification will keep the same power plants (6.7 Diesels) but change the jet drives to a "Conrad" drive that was not available at the time of manufacturer. The modification will put props in the water below the hull to "bite" the water and give a mechanical rudder to steer with instead of a directional nozzle currently provided by the Hamiltons. All work shall be performed in accordance with commercial practices and meet ABCY Guidelines. The retrofitted vessel must meet ABS rules for High Speed Naval Craft.

The Government believes this is a sole source requirement because the vessel is unique, specific technical requirements that required a naval architect to draw CAD designs for. Silver Ships prepared CAD drawings to contract the vessel and the CAD drawings are proprietary to Silver Ships and are not available to other companies.

However, if your firm is interested and capable of performing this requirement as stated in the attached statement of work, please contact TSgt Thomas Sexton at thomas.sexton.4@us.af.mil and MSgt Eric Moss at eric.moss@us.af.mil and provide your capability statement demonstrating your company is capable of providing the requirement, even without drawings. In your response, please provide your contact information and a statement that your company is interest and capable of performing these services.
