NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
NOAA's Marine Operations Center, Acquisition Branch, intends to negotiate, on a sole source basis, under authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1); with SUBSEA GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LLC, 12062 NM 27th AVE Miami, FL 33167 for repairs to NOAA Ship Gordon Gunter STBD Properller.
Sole Source Justification
Missions are compromised without repair. Risk of continued operation damaging recently
repaired shaft liners/seals/etc. that can only be repaired by returning the ship to drydock.
Such damage would also result in an emergency drydocking at great expense to the
government.
This vendor has already inspected, performed minor repairs from other contractor’s work,
and understands the scope of work for these aged and not readily available propellers. This
vendor has completed repairs and modifications to similar low-noise propellers for MSC on
similar classed vessels with aged and worn propellers.
