AI Contract Overview

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, has issued a requirement for specialized technical and engineering support for at-sea testing of the FSF-1 SEAFIGHTER (X-Craft). The purpose of the testing is to measure ocean surface waves around the ship while it undergoes evaluations related to slamming loads and response to high-speed maneuvers and rough sea conditions. These test results will be used for validation against predictive computational tools developed by the Office of Naval Research. The testing will take place near the vessel’s current berth in San Diego and will involve both preparatory work such as test plan development, as well as participation and support during and after the sea trials to ensure operational safety. Due to the specialized nature of the task and the unique expertise required, the contract is intended to be awarded non-competitively to the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. This institution possesses the necessary instrumentation, local knowledge, and technical acumen, particularly through Dr. Eric Terrill, who leads related coastal observation research and has experience with prior relevant naval testing projects. Although this solicitation is not a competition in the traditional sense, other interested and capable parties may submit their proposals or capabilities statements within 15 days for consideration. The anticipated award date for the contract is around April 14, 2006.

Full Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (NSWCCD), Code 5600,has been tasked to provide support of at-sea testing of FSF-1, SEAFIGFHTER (X-Craft) and has created a requirement for technical and engineering support services. NSWCCD intends to negotiate a non-competitive procurement with Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), Only one responsible source and no other supplier of services will satisfy agency requirements. The objective of the at sea FSF-1, SEAFIGFHTER test is to measure ocean surface waves near and around the ship while it undergoes at sea evaluation of slamming loads and statistics. The vessel tests are anticipated to include high speeds and rough seas to measure and characterize the ship response to wave impacts and slamming, for comparison to predictive computational tools being developed by the Office of Naval Research. Specialized technical assistance is required in test planning and at sea testing on board the X-craft (SEAFIGHTER FSF-1) including the preparation of test plans, participation in sea trials and post trials which are essential for ship safety. Vessel tests are anticipated to be conducted from the current berth within San Diego and will include high-speed maneuvers and rough seas trials. Due to the nature of this specific task, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD is the only source that can provide the Carderock Division with the necessary expertise and instrumentation in order to successfully and safely test the SEAFIGHTER FSF-1. Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego has Dr. Eric Terrill, Ph.D. who is the Director and Chief Operations Officer of the Coastal Observing Research and Development Center located in San Diego, is uniquely qualified technically and is familiar with the immediate area of the testing, familiar with the test methods, data and intent of data collection through participation in past DDX Large Scale Demonstrator, and work with the R/V ATHENA. Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement or submit proposals. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals. However, all responsible sources submitting proposals within 15 days after date of publication of this synopsis will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete with this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Anticipated award date is on or around 4/14/06. Interested parties may forward capabilities statements to the point of contact by no later than 4/05/2006.
