AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Coast Guard Engineering Logistics Center seeks to award a sole source contract to Marintek, Sintef Group, based in Trondheim, Norway, for specialized engineering services related to hydrodynamic load prediction for High Speed Naval Vessels. The contract focuses on integrating existing analytical and experimental tools, specifically using Marintek's proprietary VERES approach for time domain wave load prediction, to enhance finite element analysis applications aimed at defining operational envelopes and maintaining structural integrity of the vessels. The scope includes constructing a hydro-elastic segmented model, conducting model tests, and optionally performing data analysis and reporting as outlined in the Statement of Work. Marintek is considered uniquely qualified due to its worldwide expertise and proprietary methodologies essential for accurately predicting hydrodynamic responses and slamming events critical to vessel design and mission effectiveness. The USCG has issued a notice inviting other capable firms to submit detailed proposals within two working days, although it emphasizes that no other vendor has the specialized capabilities and resources necessary to fulfill the requirements. The contract is to be awarded as a firm fixed price sole source agreement, with the place of performance and procurement managed out of Baltimore, Maryland. Interested parties are encouraged to respond promptly, though the Coast Guard does not intend to compensate for proposal submissions.

Full Description

THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Engineering Logistics Center (ELC) has a follow-on requirement for engineering services in support of USCG High Speed Naval Vessel (HSNV) Loads Prediction for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Applications. The objective of this effort is to integrate existing approaches and analysis tools for hydrodynamic load prediction using the time domain VERES wave loads prediction approach that will ultimately be used for FEA load application for cutter operational envelop definition and hull structural integrity and life maintenance strategies. The engineering services to be provided include Task 1 - construct a hydro-elastic segmented model; Task 2 - Conduct Model Tests; Optional Task 3 - Data Analysis and Reporting, in accordance with the attached Statement of Work. The USCG intends to award a sole source firm fixed price contract to Marintek. It is the Government's belief that Marintek, Sintef Group, located in Trondheim, Norway is the only contractor who possesses world wide expertise and experience in the application of state of the art analytical and experimental tools for predicting hydrodynamic loads and response to waves. This expertise is essential for the evaluation of hydrodynamic response and slamming events critical for designing the structural integrity and mission effectiveness of HSNV. Marintek has developed a proprietary approach for predicting the loading and response of HSNV named VERES that is uniquely suited for the USCG application. No other sources have the technical qualifications and necessary resources to perform the work described herein, nor will any other services satisfy the Government requirements. Concerns having the expertise and required capabilities to furnish the above services are invited to submit complete information discussing the same in duplicate within two (2) working days of this announcement. Concerns that respond to this notice must fully demonstrate the capability to accomplish the above and are to supply pertinent information in sufficient detail to demonstrate a bona fide capability to meet the requirements. Alternate proposal data must include sufficient information to allow the Coast Guard to evaluate. The Coast Guard does not intend to pay for information solicited. Responses shall be submitted within two (2) days of this announcement. Responses must be concise and specific to the requirements mentioned above. The submission of data for review shall not impede award of a contract.
