    The document outlines the scope of work for the annual Machinery Control System (MCS) modifications and system grooming for the NOAA Ship SHIMADA scheduled for October 2024. The main objective is to update the MCS software to enhance functionality, including user-adjustable settings for standby generators and the incorporation of a countdown clock on the control screens to alert crew when a generator is about to go offline. Additional responsibilities for the contractor include updating technical manuals, providing all required labor and materials, and verifying system performance during a sea trial from Vallejo, CA to Newport, OR. The work will be conducted at Mare Island Shipyard, under the supervision of the designated technical point of contact and a Chief Engineer. Emphasis is placed on following safety protocols, including lock-out/tag-out procedures, and the necessity for the contractor to have prior knowledge of the MCS code to ensure quality assurance. Overall, the document serves as a formal request for proposals for technical modifications to maintain and improve the ship's operational capabilities while ensuring the crew’s safety and compliance with established standards.

    The document outlines a Single Source Determination utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) by the Department of Commerce's NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations for the update and grooming of the Shimada Machinery Control System (MCS). The estimated cost for this service is $32,908. The GBS Group, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for the MCS, is the sole provider capable of performing this work due to their specialized knowledge of the system, which is critical for optimizing fuel economy. Engaging a non-GBS team would result in delays and potential damage, as they would lack familiarity with the MCS's components and programming. Market research indicates that GBS’s pricing is competitive relative to others in the field. Both the Technical/Requirements Representative and the Contracting Officer certify that the need for hiring GBS as the sole source is valid and complete. This determination illustrates the government’s process for justifying sole-source procurement in compliance with federal regulations.
