Costa Rica Secured Borders: Interceptor Boats

U.S. Embassy San Jose Statement of Work Coast Guard: Interceptor Boats Program: Secured Borders San Jose, Costa Rica March, 2016 GENERAL The Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Affairs is an instrumental leader in the development of policies and programs to combat international narcotics and crime. INL programs support two of the Department of States' strategic goals: (1) to reduce the entry of illegal drugs into the United States; and (2) to minimize the impact of international crime on the United States and its citizens. One of the many ways to effectively meet the listed goals is to partner with allied governments both directly and indirectly to promote the modernization of and support the enforcement operations of their foreign criminal justice systems and law enforcement agencies. SCOPE Toward the above effort, the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) Affairs office at US Embassy San Jose, Costa Rica has a requirement for two (2) Eduardo'o 380 Interceptor boats (brand name or equal) to transfer to the Costa Rican Coast Guard in support of the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) Maritime Interdiction Vetted Unit (MIVU) that is presently being developed, manned, and established in the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Since it is anticipated that the MIVU will expand to cover the Pacific region of the country, it is requested that an option for two (2) additional Eduardo'o 380 Interceptor boats be built into the resulting award for this procurement action. Given INL's charter to lessen the flow of drugs and illicit traffic that is bound for the United States homeland, these assets are crucial toward that end - as well as toward enhancing the Costa Rican Coast Guard's ability to operate independently and alongside US and regional partners in the fight against illicit trafficking in the territorial and international sea boundaries of Costa Rica. Acquiring the Eduardo'o 380 Interceptor platform, positions the Costa Rican Coast Guard to better sustain, extend, and logistically support the life-cycle maintenance requirements associated with their existing fleet of Eduardo'o boats - which currently numbers about 25 interceptors. Additional note: INL is currently pursuing the acquisition of an integrated logistics software module that is tailored to support the sustainability, maintenance, inventory, and supply chain requirements of the Costa Rican Coast Guard's existing fleet of Eduardo'o interceptors and Yamaha engines. From a maintenance and life-cycle sustainment perspective - no other platforms can be as easily supported/maintained in the local market. 1.
