AI helper
This is a presolicitation notice for marine investigation services for the MV Jackie Lee Anderson. The contract is for a detailed marine forensic investigation to determine the root cause of the vessel's sinking. The scope includes a comprehensive analysis of the generator fuel oil supply system, physical inspection, pneumatic pressure testing, and the creation of a 3D model. The primary deliverable is a forensic report due within fifty-six days of award. The period of performance is 120 days from the date of award. This requirement is being procured on a sole source basis due to the contractor's unique and nontransferable institutional knowledge of the vessel and its systems, having been previously engaged in the preliminary investigation. Failure to approve this justification would result in serious injury to the mission of maintaining operations on the Ohio River and significant financial damages to the government due to the vessel's critical role in raising and lowering wicket lifters at the dam. The vessel is currently incurring daily costs at a shipyard awaiting these investigation results for repairs. Market research confirmed that only the intended contractor possesses the necessary vessel-specific knowledge and immediate capability to meet the critical timeline without substantial delays and costs.
The bid notice states that the primary deliverable, a comprehensive forensic report, must be submitted within fifty-six days from purchase order award.
The bid notice states that the intended contractor is the only source that possesses the unique and essential qualification of preexisting, direct institutional knowledge of the MN Jackie Lee Anderson and its unique fuel system modifications.
The bid notice does not mention the submission of samples.
