About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the purchase of 75 FILTER-SEPARATOR, Part Number SWK-2000/10UD-G and NSN 4330-01-632-2160, for the U.S. Coast Guard.
The justification states that SEPAR of the Americas, LLC. and their authorized distributors are the only sources capable of providing the required FILTER-SEPARATOR, as they possess the necessary technical data and drawings to properly manufacture the item. The Coast Guard does not own the rights to the proprietary data and therefore cannot provide drawings, specifications, or schematics to allow for competition. The FILTER-SEPARATOR is a critical component for the vessel's fuel oil system, and failure would significantly degrade the vessel's performance and operations. The acquisition will be issued as a Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 336611 with a 1,250 employee size standard. Award will be made to the lowest priced offeror, and all items must be delivered by 30 September 2024.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER
SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED The technical data for the FILTER-SEPARATOR is required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The FILTER-SEPARATOR is critical for the efficient and uninterrupted performance of the FUEL OIL system, providing clean, contaminant free fuel to operating machinery. Failure of operating machinery would jeopardize the performance of the engineering plant, hampering the vessel’s ability to maneuver and/or generate electricity. Loss of the engineering plant would cause a major degradation, rendering the vessel disabled and risking the lives of personnel and loss of the vessel. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and access to
OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation.
To needed to assist in stopping the boat trailer. Failure of this part would prevent the tow vehicle from stopping as fast and possibly cause an automotive accident.
A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY
