About this file
This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a simplified acquisition procedure under FAR 13.106-1(b), submitted by the U.S. Coast Guard on August 25, 2025. The procurement is for replacement parts for a 47' MLB (Multipurpose Lightweight Boat) vessel, with the specific parts list referenced as attached but not detailed in this document. The Coast Guard seeks a sole source award to Rolls-Royce, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, establishing that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The Coast Guard asserts that Rolls-Royce is the sole source capable of providing these parts because the technical data—including manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances, parameters, and test procedures—are controlled exclusively by Rolls-Royce and were never purchased by the Coast Guard. The document states that alternative vendor parts may not meet the same fit, form, and function requirements as the installed Rolls-Royce brand, and that attempting to source alternate parts without proper technical documentation could result in major mission degradation or require unnecessary fabrication for installation. Market research was conducted through internet searches and review of previous purchases to identify potential vendors. The Contracting Officer, Duffey Bryan Anthony, signed the document with code 1472117501, while the customer, with code SBPL and phone number 571-607-7402, approved it on 08/25/2025. The document notes that the Coast Guard will continue conducting market research to identify alternative vendors that can provide engineering drawings and related technical information for future acquisitions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of
See attached list
Vessel: 47’ MLB
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 have 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.
