About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for the U.S. Coast Guard's procurement of specific maritime parts. The acquisition involves purchasing 55 PARTS KIT (P/N 3972366, NSN 4320-01-567-7024) and 25 O-RINGS (P/N 3028291, NSN 5331-01-304-5148) for a 47' MLB (Motor Lifeboat). The document justifies a sole source procurement from CUMMINS INC. under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), citing that CUMMINS is the sole possessor of the technical drawings and manufacturing specifications, and procuring OEM parts will ensure continuity and proper configuration for the vessel. The parts are critical for underway operations, and failure could place the vessel in a hazardous situation. The Contracting Officer determined that the technical data required to assess equivalent alternatives is unavailable, and market research was conducted using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and review of previous purchases.

47’ MLB

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. : The technical data for the O-RING AND PARTS KIT is required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The O-RING AND PARTS KIT is a crucial part of the and is critical especially during underway operations. Failure of the O-RING AND PARTS KIT would result in failure, placing the vessel in a hazardous situation.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Conducted market research using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

CUMMINS INC. or other vendors capable of supplying “official OEM parts”. CUMMINS INC. is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the O-RING AND

PARTS KIT. Procuring the OEM brand will ensure the continuity and configuration presently installed on the 47

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. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the OEM.
