About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for the U.S. Coast Guard. The procurement involves purchasing twenty (20) GENERATOR, ENGINE, Part Number FM-12-160-6LP (NSN 2920-01-658-8136) for a 47 FT MLB (Motor Lifeboats) vessel. The acquisition is being processed under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."

Master Marine and Industry Supply is identified as the sole source, as they possess the exclusive technical drawings and manufacturing information required to produce the generator. The justification emphasizes that the technical data is proprietary, never purchased by the Coast Guard, and controlled by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The document notes that attempting to manufacture the generator without proper OEM specifications could cause major mission degradation and safety risks. The Contracting Officer will continue to conduct market research to potentially locate alternative vendors in future acquisitions, with a target date of May 09, 2025 for this procurement.
