PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISTION NUMBER: 2122402B4500NZ009
PROJECTTASK NUMBER: 535594
ESTIMATED AMOUNT OVER 3000 BUT NOT EXCEEDING 150000:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Purchase of:

Sixteen (16) Load, Cell, Force Weight; P/N: YMD-8564, NSN: 6670-01-495-0526

Cage: 70433 OEM: Appleton Marine LLC.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The Load Cell is a component that is used on the Appleton Marine LLC., (OEM) installed cross deck winches. These Load cells are critical in making sure that the the cross decks are being used to haul in buoys and sinkers while the 225' WLB Sea Going buoy tenders are maintaining critical Aids to Navigation in vital navigation ports and waterways within the United States and Foreign ports. Significant untested Load Cells not of OEM conformance would create a significant retrofit to all the 225 WLB's in which time this would hold up any repairs or casualty response due to failures or current overhauls. The 225' WLB's would not be able to maintain their primary mission of Aids to Navigation.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: The Coast Guard did not purchase the manufacturer's proprietary data rights, and therefore, cannot determine with certainty that an alternative part number would mount to, interface with, or operate effectively with Coast Guard Cutters. Failure of an alternative part, not conforming to the OEM's specifications, could cause damage to the cutters. The manufacturing drawing and specifications have not been purchased by the Coast Guard.
EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE: When Coast Guard purchased the original equipment there were no requirements for manufacturer's drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures. OEM is only know manufacturer that has the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation necessary to manufacture or provide this item that is consistent with their changes that were made to the item that these parts as used onboard 225' WLB Coast Guard Cutters.
PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS IF ANY THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED: COR will continue to conduct market research with a focus on locating vendors that are able to meet requirements, however without technical data described above obtaining full and open competition will be difficult. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information.
