Combined Synopsis/Solicitation 1305M220QNMAN0310 CAT Engine Overhauls for NOAA Ships

This combined synopsis/solicitation seeks proposals for scheduled and unscheduled overhauls of Caterpillar diesel engines that power vessels in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fleet. The Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is soliciting these engine overhaul services, with proposals due by October 2, 2020. Evaluation will be based on past performance and price, with past performance being more important initially and price increasing in importance as proposals become similarly rated.

This procurement has been set aside entirely for small businesses with 1,500 employees or fewer. The primary NAICS code is 811310 and PSC code is J019. Key details include overhauls at various locations between January and November 2021 based on ship schedules. Place of performance will be at offerors' facilities. Estimated budgets range from $250,000 to over $1,000,000 annually depending on engine service life cycles. The potential multiple award IDIQ contract would have a five year period of performance for scheduled and emergency repairs of Caterpillar engines that power NOAA research vessels nationwide.
