- Description
- This is a reissue of sources sought N0002409R2217 with an emphasis on delivery schedules in anticipation of a potential future procurement program with the Government of Iraq. In support of the eventual turnover of security responsibilities to the Iraqi Government, expedited deliveries of these vessels is of paramount importance. Due to the vital need of this request, the Government is seeking responses from sources that can provide an accelerated delivery schedule even if the existing vessel or vessel design does not fully meet the characteristics listed below. As a part of the response to this RFI, interested sources should indicate which characteristics can and cannot be met. Interested sources are encouraged to propose delivery schedules that can realistically be achieved while keeping in mind the vital need of this request. The Naval Sea Systems Command is conducting market research to determine the existence of an Offshore Support Vessel possessing the characteristics listed below (same characteristics as the original N0002409R2217). We will also consider existing vessels or proven designs that come close to possessing these characteristics if this will help to accelerate the delivery schedules. The boats would be procured under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case and would operate in the Arabian Gulf off the coast of Iraq: a.General Mission: Patrolling territorial waters and offshore platforms, transporting troops from base to platform, supporting scuba diving operations, interception of enemies using onboard Fast Attack Boats (FABs), supporting/refueling Patrol boats (PB), FABs and RHIBs, carrying anti-pollution equipment and supporting anti-pollution activities, external fire fighting, helicopter winching operations, towing sister ships and providing naval gun fire power. b.Hull length at least 55 meters and up to 60 metersc.Draft: TBDd.Range: TBDe.Speed requirement of 16 knots at full load displacement under tropical conditions (air temperature 450 C and sea water temperature 370 C) in calm waterf.Endurance: >15 days g.Fully operational in Sea State 3 and survivable in Sea State 5 conditions h.Fuel: 250 m3 (Tankage is for all OSV operations, including small craft support and shall allow continuous 10 kts transit for 1500 miles)i.Potable Water: 150 m3 (Tankage is for all OSV operations, including small craft support and shall allow continuous 10 kts transit for 1500 miles)j.Crew Accomodations- Total accommodations= 46 berthsa.Ship's Crew- 26 berthsb.FAB's Crews- 14 berthsc.Diving Crews- 6 berthsd.Transit seating for troops- 40 seats (aircraft type seats)e.Officer/Crew mix is TBD.k.Mono-hull design made of steel and in accordance with approved Classification Society Rules and capable of launching and recovering the required small craft.l.The service life of the hull and main machinery shall be 25 years. m.Galley and associated spaces equipped to sustain 24 hour per day use.
