About this file

This is a Single Source Determination using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the Department of Commerce, NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations. The document justifies sole-source procurement from Palfinger Marine USA for replacement of a deteriorated winch on the Fast Rescue Boat Davit aboard NOAA Ship Henry Bigelow.

The justification establishes Palfinger Marine (formerly Schatt Harding) as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who retains proprietary rights to the design and is the only approved source for replacement parts and certification. The rationale emphasizes that OEM certification is required annually for ABS Ship certification, and any repairs must use OEM certified parts installed according to Palfinger Marine procedures. The document identifies Palfinger Marine USA's local OEM distributor in Portsmouth, VA as the contracted source, noting they are one of four authorized U.S. distribution centers. Due to life safety requirements and the need to maintain ABS Class Certification, all work must conform to OEM specifications.

SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD

(AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1))

(140802-25-0081)

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Office of Marine and

Aviation Operations, Acquisition, Analysis, and Accountability Branch.

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value). The Fast Rescue Boat Davit on NOAA Ship Henry Bigelow is manufactured by Palfinger Marine (formerly Schatt Harding). The winch currently installed is deteriorated and requires replacement. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) must certify and approve the entire davit assembly annually for ABS Ship certification. All repairs and replacement parts must be completed in accordance with the OEM (Palfinger Marine) procedures using OEM certified parts.

3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

Palfinger Marine USA Local OEM Distributor (VA) 705 Mt. Vernon Avenue VA 23707 Portsmouth United States Lawrence O’Mara 757-399-1633 757-395-9099 l.omara@palfinger.com s.jeanminette@palfinger.com service.spares-americas@palfinger.com

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

□ Brand Name: – Palfinger Marine is the OEM and retains the proprietary rights to their design as well as the only provision of OEM parts and service expertise. Palfinger Marine has four distribution centers located throughout the domestic United States. The OEM distributors and service centers are the only OEM approved sources for replacement parts and certification of the Palfinger Marine fast rescue boat davit.

Certification is completed annually or anytime major system repairs are completed and are required annually for NOAA Ship Henry Bigelow ABS Certification. Due to the life safety and emergency requirements of the davit and to maintain NOAA Ship Henry Bigelow ABS Class Certification, it is imperative that the fast rescue boat davit be repaired in accordance with the OEM requirements.
