Sources Sought for HSM
The U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center, Engineering Services Division (ESD) has a requirement for the development of hull structural life maintenance strategies for the USCG 154 foot Fast Response Cutters (FRC). A Hull Structure Monitoring (HSM) system has been prototyped to monitor hull girder loading and fatigue life budget to support operational and maintenance planning decisions for the FRC class of high speed cutters.
Objectives of this effort are provide test instrumentation support for the USCG FRC HSM to test and monitor fatigue budget for fleet maintenance and operational decisions by SFLC ESD and the Patrol Boat Product Line (PBPL).
These supplies and services are required for the USCG 154' Fast Response Cutters (FRC). The Coast Guard does not possess the proprietary technical specifications, drawings, manufacturing/provisioning data, or special tools necessary to provide these services and supplies. This information was not purchased at the time of the original acquisition and is proprietary to the OEM, Light Structures, AS. It is the Government's belief that only Light Structures, AS in Norway has the capability to provide these services and supplies. However, potential sources can submit information demonstrating their capabilities to provide genuine OEM HSMs, all parts associated, and OEM authorized services. This information shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Data that the offered services and supplies have been satisfactorily provided to the OEM or the Government in the past; and/or (2) a written letter, signed by the OEM, that verifies the offeror's capability to access OEM drawings, specifications, and special tools. The Government does not intend to pay for any information that is submitted in response to this synopsis.
