Vessel: Multi. The VARIOUS parts are provided by IMTRA CORPORATION, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Therefore, all offers shall be OEM brand.

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 VARIOUS WIPER 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. The VARIOUS WIPER PARTS are in support of the WIPER SYSTEM, currently installed on the 29’ RBS. The VARIOUS WIPER PARTS are critical for the operation of the wiper system and safety of both crew and vessel alike, especially during operations when visibility can be greatly impaired by driving rain or rough seas. The WIPER SYSTEM provides the removal of water from the windshield, allowing improved visibility. 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. Therefore, any offer of parts shall be “official OEM brand”.

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.

IMTRA CORPORATION has known distributors.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

The VARIOUS WIPER PARTS are provided by IMTRA CORPORATION and is the suggested source that can provide the VARIOUS WIPER PARTS. IMTRA CORPORATION is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the VARIOUS WIPER PARTS, therefore, any offer of parts shall be “official brand OEM” parts. All the part numbers entered are provided by IMTRA CORPORATION. While other manufacturers can produce the various parts, to maintain configuration of spare parts and accomplish maintenance, all other offers must conform to this brand.

Another vendor’s parts may not contain the same fit, form and function. The installation of IMTRA CORPORATION parts will ensure the continuity and configuration of the VARIOUS WIPER PARTS installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from the parts installed; another vendor’s offer may lead to fabrication being necessary for installation. Therefore, all offers shall be “official OEM brand.

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. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. 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.
