ICE BREAKING RESEARCH VESSEL IN SUPPORT OF

U.S. ANTARCTIC PROGRAM (USAP)

ITT Antarctic Services, Inc., under contract to the National

Science Foundation, Division of Polar Programs, is seeking the charter/purchase of an icebreaking research vessel to operate in the Antarctic and southern ocean waters in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program. The vessel must be a large, general purpose multi-disciplinary oceanographic research vessel, capable of steaming continuously at three knots or better through level ice with a thickness of three feet or more, and capable of ramming pressure ridge with a 6 ft. sail height. The vessel should be between 250 and 300 feet LOA, fully sound and seaworthy, capable of operating for extended periods of deployment, world-wide, not less than seventy-five days, with helicopter operations capabili- ties, semi-automated dynamic positioning, and have ac- commodations for thirty four (34) or more scientific and science support personnel in addition to the vessel crew.

Vessel must carry an English speaking crew.

Prospective Offerors are advised of the following Buy

American provisions legislated by the United States Gov- ernment specifically for this procurement.

That no funds in this Act shall be used to acquire or lease a research vessel with ice-breaking capability built by a shipyard located in a foreign country if such a vessel of United States origin can be obtained at a cost no more than 50 per centum above that of the least ex- pensive technically acceptable foreign vessel bid. Pro- vided further, that, in determining the cost of such a ves- sel, such cost be increased by the amount of any subsi- dies or financing provided by a foreign government (or instrumentality thereof) to such vessel's construction.

A formal RFP covering this charter/purchase is tentatively scheduled for late December 1988.

Letters of interest are sought concerning this announce- ment and are to be directed to the attention of:
