b. Reason for Authority Cited:

These items are needed to support operational capabilities for deployment and must be delivered on or before

. Should procurement and delivery not be accomplished on time, there will be substantial negative impacts to operations capabilities in remote locations. Bow thrusters are considered a Critical System in accordance with COMSC INSTRUCTION 4490.1C. The Bow Thrusters parts contemplated in this contract is on the following critical safety items: (5) Propulsion/Machinery Control Systems and (10) Steering Gear Control Systems. Per COMSCINST 4490.1C, MSC N7, the Design Control Activity, has determined that only qualified sources may produce and service these critical safety items. Only authorized field service technicians have access to necessary technical data and have the expertise to identify and provide direct replacement parts for existing equipment, which must be compatible in terms of form, fit, and function with existing equipment or configurations. This ensures equipment reliability. Improperly installed or deficient parts could cause system failure and loss of the affected system or equipment while at sea particularly with safe navigation. The identified contractor has been qualified by MSC to work on this system and there are no authorized Non-OEM distributors for bow thrusters parts identified as shown on https:// HYPERLINK http://www.msc.usff.navy.mil/Business-Opportunities/Contracts/Qualification-for- Items- www.msc.usff.navy.mil/Business-Opportunities/Contracts/Qualification-for-Items- Critical-to-Shipboard- Safety-on-MSC-Vessels/ . The OEM of the bow thruster parts are Kongsberg. Kongsberg does not have any authorized distributors and sells directly to the Government.

As the OEM of the required parts without authorized distributors or resellers, Kongsberg is the only entity capable of providing the supplies. Based on the forgoing, Kongsberg is the only known responsible source that can meet technical requirements without duplication of costs to the government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. Replacement parts for the bow thrusters from the OEM are essential here since the Kongsberg bow thrusters were designed to work in conjunction with the existing steering system on the ship. These replacement parts have specific tolerances and produce the required hydraulic pressures necessary to rotate the rudder and accurately steer the ship. Deviations or alternate parts have not been tested and could result in personal injury or equipment failure.

Moreover, these parts are certified direct replacement parts that provide proper form, fit, and functions for the

Bow Thruster System. The OEM replacement parts meet the requirement certification of the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for crew safety and reduction of ship failure during strict maneuvering. ABS and the USCG require only certified OEM, direct replacement parts be utilized in the maintenance of the Bow Thruster System. Because Kongsberg is the only responsible source and no other supplies will satisfy the requirements, the subject required parts must be sourced from Kongsberg.

5. Efforts to Obtain Competition:

At this time there is no effort to obtain competition as indicated in Section 4 this requirement is sole sourced to the OEM. In accordance with FAR 5.202(a)(2), this action has been synopsized.

6. Actions to Increase Competition:.

At this time there is no effort to increase competition as indicated in Section 4 this requirement is sole sourced to the

OEM.

Current market research, indicate that Kongsberg is the only contractor that can provide the requested materials for the government. No other sources have been identified at this time.

7. Market Research:

Market research was conducted by the contract specialist and the requiring activity in in accordance with FAR Part 8 and 10. Posting a Sources Sought on the government point of entry (GPE) was not feasible due to the lead time. Additionally, the contract specialist also reached out to Kongsberg and confirmed that they are the sole source with no distributors. Based on section 4 above and the results of the abovementioned market research, there

8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition

For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, NAVSUP FLC PS has no plans at this time to compete future contracts for the types of supplies/services covered by this document. If another potential source emerges, NAVSUP FLC PS will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible.

9. Any Other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:

Not applicable.
