Background, Introduction & Purpose The Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) is a new class of cutter being acquired by the U.S. Coast Guard to replace the legacy 210-foot and 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter fleets. Each OPC is equipped with two FM-MAN 16V 28/33D STC Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDEs). Because the FM-MAN 16V 28/33D STC engine is a highly specialized, proprietary system, it requires OEM-authorized life-cycle support, genuine parts, technical expertise, and training to maintain fleet readiness. The purpose of this notice is to conduct market research to identify potential sources capable of providing OEM-authorized spare parts, repairable component overhaul services, technical support, and training for these engine platforms. Market research currently indicates that only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Fairbanks Morse, LLC (CAGE Code: 9MMV5), possesses the proprietary technical/engineering data and access to genuine OEM parts required to successfully support this platform. The purpose of this notice is to verify this exclusive status and identify whether any other capable sources exist, Accordingly, capable authorized distributors who possess the required qualifications are invited to submit a Capability Statement (detailed in Section

5) to demonstrate their ability to support this requirement. Important Requirement: If submitting a Capability Statement as an authorized distributor, you must include a formal letter from the OEM, Fairbanks Morse, LLC, verifying your company’s authorized distributor status. 3.
