CYLINDER HEAD 251

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition" for services related to the WMEC 210 and 270 Cutter Classes. It details the requirement to service and exchange thirty-seven (37) cylinder heads (P/N: 22200243-UE, NSN: 2815-01-458-8747) for the main propulsion FMD ALCO 251 Diesel Engines.

• Procurement: The estimated value of this service is $340,595.73.
• Sole Source Justification: The document justifies soliciting from a single source, Fairbanks Morse Defense, due to unique capabilities and proprietary data required to meet exacting design and materials requirements. Variances could lead to catastrophic damage and safety risks.
• Source: Fairbanks Morse Defense is identified as the available source, with contact information provided.
• Requirements: The service must meet original design and technical specifications, including form, fit, function, and integration with the existing propulsion systems. The repair facility must possess specific techniques, design specifications, testing, and quality assurance capabilities.
• Market Research: The Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) will continue market research, but obtaining full and open competition is expected to be difficult without proprietary technical data.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This document outlines the requirements for the overhaul of Cylinder Heads for Diesel Engines used on 210 WMEC, 270 WMEC, and 400 WAGB vessels.

• The primary task is a "Unit Exchange" where the Coast Guard provides "F" condition cylinder heads and receives "RFI" (Ready For Issue) cylinder heads in return.

• The overhaul involves the Alco 251 Plus head and valve assembly, including standard air valves, inconel exhaust valves, and rotocoil spring seats.

• Preliminary inspection is required to determine the extent of necessary repairs.

• The overhaul must restore the cylinder head to "ORIGINAL" design and technical specifications, performed in accordance with ALCO specifications and standards, resulting in a "like new" condition using OEM or equivalent parts.

• After overhaul, the Contractor must perform standard production tests and inspections to ensure maximum design performance.

• Certifications of successful standard production tests and inspections must be provided.

• One certificate is to be placed in the shipping container with each overhauled cylinder head, and a copy forwarded to the Coast Guard Contract Administrator.

• Not explicitly stated, but implied to be at the contractor's facility.

• Preservation/Packaging: Each unit must be individually preserved and wrapped for protection against deterioration for a minimum of two (2) years.

• Shipping Packaging: Each unit must be packed individually in its own wooden box, capable of providing adequate protection during multiple shipments.

• Marking: Boxes must be marked with National Stock Number (2815-01-458-8747), Item Name (CYLINDER HEAD, DIESEL ENGINE), Part Number (22200243), Government Order Number, and "Coast Guard SFLC Material, Condition 'A'" in legible black print.

• Warranty: A standard manufacturer's warranty is required. For items repaired as "onboard repair" or "system stock" and put into inventory (not for immediate installation), the contractor must guarantee the item against defects leading to failure for 90 days after installation, for a period of up to two (2) years after delivery to the Coast Guard.

• Government Acceptance: Acceptance will be made at destination by a Government representative, contingent upon verification of no transit damage, order correctness, completeness, and conformance to preservation, packaging, packing, and marking requirements.

Fairbanks Morse Defense, LLC (FMD's Service Center) in Houston, TX is listed as a recommended source.

The "Not to Exceed" cost estimate for the overhaul is $9,205.29.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD," is an informational guide prepared by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) for familiarization purposes. It is not a contractual requirement but provides guidance derived from government packaging documents and technical manuals.

• Locations of Packaging Requirements: Details where packaging requirements can be found within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments).
• Hazardous Materials: Outlines modal regulations for packaging hazardous materials (Land, Water, Commercial Air, Military Air) and the requirement for MIL-STD-129 marking.
• Commercial vs. Military Packaging: Explains when ASTM D-3951 (Commercial Packaging) may be appropriate and when MIL-STD-2073 (Military Packaging) is required.
• Military Preservation Methods: Describes five basic methods (10-50) for military preservation, including physical protection, preservative coating, and waterproof protection.
• Military Packing Levels: Details Level A and Level B packing requirements for various shipment and storage conditions.
• Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC): Introduces the MIL-STD-2073-1E(1) system for translating packaging requirements into codes.
• Markings: Covers identification, bar code, address, and special markings (e.g., Hazardous Material, Fragile, Shelf-life, UID, RFID).
• Key Specifications: Lists relevant military standards and ASTM standards for packaging.

This guide is crucial for bidders to understand the Department of Defense's (DoD) expectations and requirements for packaging and marking items. It helps in determining the necessary packaging methods, materials, and markings to ensure items are protected during shipment and storage, and to comply with contractual obligations. Bidders should consult their specific contract or solicitation for definitive requirements, as this guide is for informational purposes only.
