The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG), USCG Academy (USCGA), Nautical Science Department prepared the attached justification for other than full and open competition to solicit and award USCGA contract number 70Z02323CCGA00001 on 8 September 2023 (see justification in Attachments). As detailed in the attachment, the subject action is to obtain maintenance services for the Shipboard Control and Navigation Training Simulator (SCANTS) system deployed by the USCGA as part of the Academy's mission to prepare graduates and other professionals for active roles in maritime missions and environments. This system uses proprietary, Wartsila-designed software and only Wartsila-certified technicians are authorized to install and service the software-based simulators. As such, service by non-certified technicians would void any warranty provided by Wartsila and prohibit SCANTS from continuous upgrades/updates to software, thereby increasing the risk of system failures. The subject contract action comprises a Base Year and four Option Years, from 14 September 2023 through 13 September 2028. Services will be provided at the USCGA in New London, CT. Additional information is provided in the Attachments section of this notice.
