4. STATUTORY AUTHORITY PERMITTING OTHER THAN FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION:

10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(5): the agency's need is for a brand-name commercial product for authorized resale. In accordance with FAR 13.501(a) Sole source (including brand name) acquisitions.

5. RATIONAL JUSTIFYING USE OF CITED STATUTORY AUTHORITY

CNRSW Port Operations (N31) is responsible for maintaining Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) assigned Harbor Security and Oil Spill abatement boats, require Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts. These boats are outfitted with Yamaha and Mercury outboard engines, engine monitoring systems and throttles. All parts listed are direct replacements which include Yamaha and Mercury engines, lower units and propellers. Any other brands are not compatible or interchangeable. These boats operating in excess of 45,000 hours annually are outfitted with Yamaha and Mercury outboard engines, engine monitoring systems and throttles. Custodial commands are not authorized or allowed to alter the model, or make of these components without NAVSEA approval by way of a system wide boat alteration directive Naval Ships Technical Manual 583, Page 17, Par 1.6. 2. Unless otherwise directed by NAVSEA, replacement parts must be OEM as requested per Statement of Work (SOW) for Yamaha and Mercury outboard engines. Other available brands are not interchangeable and therefore repairs, parts, or maintenance services would require a duplication of materials, and maintenance contracts, and training for fire personnel, which would delay readiness given the degraded existing inventory. It would be cost prohibitive to introduce a new brand to our Region.

For the reasons described above, Yamaha and Mercury are essential to the government’s requirements and market research indicates that no other brands’ similar products meet, or can be modified to meet, the agency’s needs.
