This requirement will be satisfied using commercial acquisition procedures specified in FAR Part 12. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; a written solicitation will not be issued. Solicitation number DTCG38-01-Q-30001 is being assigned to this procurement for tracking purposes only. The incorporated clauses and provisions are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 97-18. This requirement is considered a small business set-aside; the North American Industry Classification System Code is 336413 and the size standard is 1000 employees. This synopsis/solicitation is issued for the acquisition of shipping/storage containers for the Rolls Royce T56-15 Engine Turbine and Compressor modules used on the United States Coast Guard Fleet of HC-130H aircraft. Due to the transition from a complete power section overhaul to a modular concept overhaul of its Rolls Royce T56-15, the United States Coast Guard seeks to procure containers suitable for shipment and storage. The items to be shipped and stored are Rolls Royce Turbine module P/N 23002760 and Compressor module P/N 23039743. The quantities are established at 30 Turbine Containers and 20 Compressor Containers. All interested suppliers are invited to attend a meeting at the United States Coast Guard Aircraft Repair and Supply Center, Elizabeth City, NC on 16 November, 2000.

At this meeting a sample of the Compressor and Turbine modules will be on display for suppliers to view, take measurements and pictures, make sketches and ask questions. Only suppliers attending this meeting will be allowed to submit proposals. Both containers will meet the following minimum design requirements: Each container shall be environmentally sealed and stackable, (2 high). Each will be rotational molded with an externally accessible document compartment. Each shall have a shallow base with forklift skids. Prior to production, USCG Aircraft Repair and Supply Center C130 Engineering Cell will evaluate all proposals and through the Contracting Officer make an award determination based on product design, ease of use, and cost. Best value procedures will be utilized in selecting awardees; low price will not be the only determining factor, design and ease of use will be equal to cost.
