About this file

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition for a federal contract opportunity issued by the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard. The Coast Guard requires eighty winch assemblies identified as part number 1135260 and national stock number 3950-01-640-7836 for use on 26-foot vessels. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) as the authority, stating that Superwinch LLC is the original equipment manufacturer of the winch assembly and sole possessor of the necessary technical data and drawings to properly manufacture the part. Market research found no other viable sources. The contracting officer signature on the justification and the corresponding solicitation for the winch assemblies indicate the Coast Guard intends to make a sole source award to Superwinch LLC or its authorized distributor Paxton Marine.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE The purchase of eighty

(80) WINCH ASSEMBLY P/N: 1135260; NSN: 3950-01-640-7836. Vessel:

26 FT TANB.

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 WINCH ASSEMBLY required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is inadequate to allow for evaluation of another O.E.M.’s part. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper O.E.M. parts and without access to O.E.M. reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could cause injuries to the vessel’s crew and excessive damage to Coast Guard vessels.

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.

HOUGH MARINE AND MACHINE INC REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

SUPERWINCH, LLC is the O.E.M. of this WINCH ASSEMBLY and the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture these WINCH ASSEMBLIES.

PAXTON Marine is an authorized distributor.

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.
