The procurement of genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Marine Doors designed and manufactured by Bollinger

Shipyards, Inc. is critical to maintaining the operational readiness of the 87’ WPB Protector Class fleet. The primary purpose of the requested marine doors (NSN: 2040-01-F14-3674) is to prevent the ingress of water from one flooded compartment to another, thereby maintaining the vessel's stability, buoyancy, and structural integrity during a hull breach or emergency.

Because the Government does not possess the proprietary technical data, precise tolerances, material specifications, or reproduction manufacturing drawings required to solicit full and open competition, these marine doors must be procured from the OEM or its authorized distributors. Sourcing unproven aftermarket alternatives represents an unmitigated risk, as there is no government-held baseline against which to verify or certify the performance and safety of non-OEM alternatives.

Attempting to substitute these critical components with non-OEM alternatives would likely require a formal engineering change in accordance with the Joint Surface Engineering Change Process Guide, CGTO-PG-85-00-900-G. This process triggers months of costly system re-engineering, extensive mechanical analyses, technical design reviews, and operational shipboard testing to certify alternative marine doors can handle the operational requirements. Such protracted delays would divert critical logistics funds and could force affected cutters into a non-operational or restricted status, actively degrading the

Coast Guard’s readiness and its ability to execute statutory missions, including securing U.S. borders, facilitating maritime commerce, and responding to national contingencies. Consequently, strict adherence to the proven OEM configuration is mandatory to guarantee reliable cutter operations and comply with Coast Guard Configuration Management Policy under

Commandant Instruction 4130.6C.

Utilizing non-OEM alternative parts introduces unacceptable safety and operational risk to the vessel and crew. Failure of an unapproved or non-validated substitute during operations could compromise the vessel's bulkheads, allowing rapid progressive flooding to spread unchecked into adjacent compartments. This catastrophic failure drastically reduces the ship’s reserve buoyancy and stability, leading to severe listing, loss of propulsion/electrical power, and ultimately capsizing or sinking. During critical operations, this can reduce mission capability, increase casualty response demands, and place the vessel and crew at greater risk to safety, readiness, and survivability. While SFLC Equipment Specialists remain committed to conducting continuous market research to identify alternative vendors, the current lack of proprietary technical data makes achieving full and open competition highly improbable at this time, making the procurement of Bollinger Shipyards, Inc marine doors necessary to sustain fleet readiness.
