This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; quotations are being requested, and a written solicitation document will not be issued. This solicitation is issued as a request for quotation (RFQ). The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-85 / December 4, 2015.

The objective is to acquire an aquatic center membership that will enable US Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue Swimmers to maintain physical fitness and training requirements which includes mandatory one day per week conditioning in a 25 meter or 25 yard pool. 2.0 BACKGROUND The Coast Guard Air Station is located on the west bank in Belle Chasse on NASJRB at 400 Russell Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70143. There is not an adequate facility located on NASJRB available for weekly training session and unit training in the early and late fall. 3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Membership Requirements: Air Station New Orleans has 14 rescue swimmers. Access to the pool is needed twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) for 90 minutes to facilitate every swimmer meeting the requirement of completing the pool training session one time per week with operational duty and the normal flight schedule factored in. The pool must also be able to accept 5 training sessions for all air station pilots and aircrew to complete required training throughout the year. Facility Requirements: The pool facility must be at least 25 yards with a depth of at least 8 feet. If the pool facility is indoors, it is not required to be heated. If the pool is outdoors, it must be heated. The pool must be able to accommodate rescue swimmer gear & equipment including a rescue litter, parachute and a Shallow Water Egress Chair (SWET). The SWET chair is a 6' x 4' cage that is placed in the water to simulate a helicopter crash. The aquatic facility must have doors large enough to move the SWET chair through. Parking Requirements: The facility must have adequate parking in close proximity of the street due to the size and amount of gear needed for wet drills, shallow water egress, and water survival training.
