- Description
- DRAFT Overview The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Operations Systems Center (OSC) has determined that tracking ship positions worldwide via automatic position reports (APRs) for the purpose of supporting search and rescue (SAR) is viable and cost effective. This method of vessel tracking and identification provides the current date/time, position, speed and heading from suitably equipped vessel(s), including those that carry Inmarsat C/GPS equipment. It is initiated automatically and is error free due to the reduced need for human intervention. Other types of shipboard equipment may be capable of generating acceptable APRs as well. Data received at the OSC will be entered into the Automated Mutual Assistance Vessel Rescue (AMVER) system. AMVER is a ship reporting system used since 1958 to support recognized SAR authorities worldwide by identifying ships in the vicinity of a distress situation at sea that might be able to assist. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Request for Proposal (RFP) #24-03-G33TWV987 is assigned and shall be referenced on any proposal response. All incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2001-14 dated May 22, 2003. This is a full and open competition under NAICS code 513340. This request is to solicit proposals from commercial companies who conduct long-range tracking and identification of vessels at sea. The tracking service is expected to begin approximately January 1, 2004 under Contract Line Item (CLIN) 1, and extend through September 30, 2004, subject to availability of funds. This contract will also include four (4) 12-month option periods. Each option year is contingent upon the availability of funds. The Option Years are under CLIN’s 2, 3, 4, and 5. To be eligible for award, companies must comply with the following mandatory requirements. 1) Automatic Position Reports (APRs) via email to amvermsg@amver.com
