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.

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.
