All other RFI requirements remain unchanged. Request for Information (RFI) Notice The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is looking for information from vendors who can replace a hardwired vibration monitoring system onboard the USCG Cutter HEALY (420 WAGB-20). The HEALY is a 16,000 LT, 35.6 MW electric drive polar icebreaker. She was commissioned in 1999 and her homeport is Seattle, Washington. The Currently Installed Vibration Monitoring System Consists of The Following: Indikon Model 500-907 with: 4 dual vibration modules (Model 502LF3 X-Y, proximity probe inputs) 4 dual vibration modules (Model 522V X-Y, piezoelectric accelerometer inputs) 1 control module (Model 500B-01) 1 analog output module (model 500C-002) with 4-20ma output Alarm and trip each module with 5A@125VAC/30VDC resistive and 3A@125 VAC inductive relay. 120 VAC + 15%, 60 HZ power requirements Equipment Monitored: 2 Ship Service Motor Generator Sets 4 accelerometers each set: 2 motor, 2 generator. 2 Main Propulsion Motors 9 proximity probes each motor propulsion system: 2 radial each motor bearing, 1 motor bearing phasing, 2 line shaft, 2 stern tube. 4 Main Diesel Generators 5 proximity probes each generator: 2 radial each bearing, 1 phasing 4 accelerometers each diesel: 2 diesel engine, 2 turbocharger (high temperature) 1 Auxiliary Diesel Generator 4 accelerometers total: 2 diesel engine, 1 generator, 1 turbocharger (high temperature) 1 Bow Thruster 6 accelerometers total: 2 motor, 2 gear box, 2 thruster. New/Upgraded Vibration Monitoring System Specifications Are: The USCG seeks information on a continuous vibration monitoring system for protection and Condition Based Maintenance of the above critical equipment. The USCG wishes to replace the existing system complete with equal or upgraded functionality. At a minimum the new system must provide: Continuous vibration monitoring for the above critical equipment. Be a hard wired system. A wireless system in lieu of hardwiring may be proposed if IT security can be maintained. Detail security and fail-safe measures if a wireless system is proposed. Alarm and trip along with associated relays. Relays must be compatible with the existing system. Local vibration level meters at the equipment. Calibration of the sensors. Data storage for a 120 day mission. Propose the sampling rate needed to provide Condition Based Maintenance. Data must be easily accessible to the USCG; e.g., CSV data format with clearly labeled headers. System must operate on ships power and must be operable in a shipboard marine environment without degradation. Note that the HEALY is an icebreaker and the equipment will be subject to high vibration levels during ice-breaking operations. The system should meet MIL-STD-167-1, Type 1 of ANSI S2.26, or equal vibration standard representing shipboard vibration. Detail the standards used. Detail previous shipboard installations. Provide number of years in business and the number of customers for various industry segments (marine, utilities, process plants, military, etc.). USCG also requests information for implementing Condition Based Maintenance of the above critical equipment and is interested in other monitoring methods as applicable to the equipment. Detail the advantages of alternative methods of CBM to vibration monitoring alone. The USCGC HEALY also has a portable vibration monitoring system covering 97 Fans and 9 pumps. Advise if a solution encompassing both the continuous and portable vibration monitoring systems can be combined into a homogeneous system, thus reducing the sampling time needed for the portable system. Drawings and Technical Manuals for the installed Portable Vibration Monitoring and the Portable Vibration Monitoring System are available upon request. If your company believes that it has the capability to support this requirement, please respond by providing your solution/specifications, not to exceed 10 pages. Requests for drawings must be submitted to Jaime Diaz: Jaime.Diaz@uscg.mil and Sarah Marsiglia E: Sarah.E.Marsiglia@uscg.mil. Access to Export Controlled Drawings: Some references listed in this request for information, are subject to export control limitations, otherwise restricted distribution, have been deemed "limited access," and "export controlled" documents. In order to access these documents, vendors must be certified as a US or Canadian contractor in the Joint Certification Program (JCP), administered by the Defense Logistic Information Service (DLIS). Instructions and procedures for being certified by JCP can be found at https://www.dla.mil/HQ/LogisticsOperations/Services/JCP/. Only those Contractors that have current certification by JCP will be granted explicit access to these packages by the United States Coast Guard. When requesting drawings, Contractors must include their JCP Certification Number. In accordance with COMDTINST M5260.6A, Management of Scientific and Technical Information (STINFO), potential offerors will also be required to complete, sign, and submit Attachment Non-Disclosure Agreement to Jaime Diaz: Jaime.Diaz@uscg.mil and Sarah Marsiglia E: Sarah.E.Marsiglia@uscg.mil in order to request the drawings associated with this requirement. JOINT CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (JCP): The Joint Certification Program (JCP) certifies Canadian and United States (U.S.) contractors for access to unclassified military technical data belonging to Canada's Department of National Defense (DND) and to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The JCP helps to protect controlled Unclassified Militarily Critical Technical Data (MCTD) and technology from common adversaries, but allows it to flow to certified Canadian and U.S. companies that have a legitimate need-to-know for business purposes. This program is effective in protecting the competitive edge of North American companies by ensuring that only eligible companies are provided with this data. http://www.dla.mil/HQ/InformationOperations/Offers/Products/LogisticsApplications/JCP.aspx This is a Request for Information Notice only, and not a solicitation announcement.
