__________________________________________________________________________
In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 5.204, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to solicit for a Firm-Fixed-Price contract to Offshore Service Vessels, LLC to acquire and service a domestically produced, commercially available icebreaker with the objective to provide an operational surface asset capable of projecting U.S. presence in the Arctic. This solicitation will be issued as a sole-source request in accordance with FAR 6.302-1: Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.
Offshore Service Vessels, LLC is the only company that can meet USCG needs based on the requirements set forth in the Request for information (RFI) Notice ID – 70Z02322ICICC2200.
USCG uses the Department of Homeland Security Acquisition Planning Forecast System (APFS) to help industry identify procurement opportunities as early in the acquisition process as possible. USCG published APFS Record F2024065563 to ensure industry is aware of the planned sole source contract action.
This synopsis is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for bids or proposals. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE OFFERS and a solicitation will not be issued. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. Any vendor that believes it can meet the icebreaker requirements can provide documentation demonstrating their commercial vessel capabilities to the Contracting Officer. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within discretion of the Government.
