BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

Lubricating oil for Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDE) and Ship Service Diesel Generators (SSDG) onboard USCGC STRATTON. Item required for normal and safe operation of machinery plant.

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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center Lang Range Enforcer Product Line Engineering Advisory 004/16 designates that Shell Rotella T3 15W-40 Lube Oil is to be used for both MPDE and SSDG operation. Brand name justification is required to prevent the mixing of different brands of oil currently in holding tanks.

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).

Market research identified two vendors local to California capable of delivery to the bay area that can satisfy requirement.

USCGC STRATTON intends to publicize requirement through GPE to promote maximum practicable competition.

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

Shell Rotella is the recommend lubricating oil on the WMSL class cutter master lubricants table. Due to the levels of Shell Rotella in holding tanks an alternative cannot be accepted to prevent the mixing of different of brands I the quantity required. The cutter does not have plans to use oil in holding tanks prior to machinery operation for deployment. Delay in acquisition can affect mission readiness.

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.

Circumstances restricting full and open competition is due to the holding tank levels. In the circumstance of tank levels being low enough to prevent mixing of oil brands, alternatives approved for use on the master lubricants table would be acceptable.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.
