About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) issued by the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center. The procurement seeks eight each of three specific Rolls-Royce engine parts for a 45' RBM vessel: Camshaft Section (P/N: E23533558), Bearing Set Washer (P/N: 23533691), and Connecting Link (P/N: 23529153). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as authority, indicating that Rolls-Royce is the only responsible source capable of providing these parts due to proprietary technical data and manufacturing specifications.

The document details that the Coast Guard lacks the technical information to reproduce or competitively source these parts, and that alternative vendors cannot guarantee the same fit, form, and function. Market research was conducted, but no alternative sources were identified. The Contracting Officer has determined that Rolls-Royce is the sole source, with the Contracting Officer of Record committing to continue searching for potential alternative vendors in future acquisitions. The estimated procurement is within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, and the delivery requirement is by 9/30/2025 to the Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT.

STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE

TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE.

PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER PROJECT/TASK NUMBER ESTIMATED AMOUNT (Over Micro-Purchase Threshold, but up to the SAT)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of

Eight (8); CAMSHAFT SECTION, ENGINE; P/N: E23533558; NSN: 2815-01-726-6693

Eight (8); BEARING SET,WASHER,; P/N: 23533691; NSN: 3120-01-601-3713

Eight (8); CONNECTING LINK; P/N: 23529153; NSN: 3040-01-726-6706

Vessel: 45’ RBM

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. The technical data for these PARTS 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. These PARTS are a product manufactured by Rolls-Royce, any and all PARTS offered as a replacement must conform to this brand. These PARTS are critical for the proper operation of the asset. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Conducted market research using internet searches and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES, Rolls-Royce is the suggested source that can provide these PARTS, “official OEM”, brand, to support the installed equipment. Rolls-Royce is the possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture these PARTS. Another vendor’s PARTS may not contain the same fit, form and function as the Rolls-Royce brand. The installation of Rolls-Royce brand will ensure the continuity and configuration of these PARTS. Presently, Rolls-Royce are installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from this brand of PARTS, another vendor’s offer may not have the same fit, form or function as the installed brand and could lead to fabrication being necessary for installation.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the

OEM.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
