7. Impact Statement:

The above listed part must conform to design, size, materials and operational requirements as well as be compatible with the existing engine configuration for the Cummins Emergency Ships Service Diesel

Generator Engine. These vessels routinely operate in bad weather and heavy sea state conditions during the course of their multi-mission operations in support of Homeland Security in international and territorial waters. These missions include search and rescue, law enforcement, migrant interdiction, drug enforcement and human trafficking. Cummins Engine Group Cooper Inc. is the OEM, of these parts. Any attempt to manufacture these parts without the proper specifications, drawings, and technical data could cause the diesel engines to overheat, cause catastrophic engine failure, engine room flooding, and subsequent failure to meet unit mission requirements. Any failure of substituted or aftermarket parts could delay mission response, jeopardize the safety of the vessel and crew and possibly cause loss of life, property or damage to the environment.

8. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by Full and

Open Competition has not been developed or are not suitable.

Cummins Engine Group Cooper Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the above listed parts used on the 154’ WPC Coast Guard vessels. The reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data have not been purchased and is proprietary. The material, manufacturing processes and technical data of these parts are proprietary to the OEM and not for sale as was requested by the Coast Guard.

Vendors other than OEM shall provide documentation stating the parts they are submitting for evaluation are authentic to Cummins Engine Group Cooper Inc. and meet OEM specifications and standards as they pertain to the 154’ WPC Fast Response Cutters.

9. 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 with a focus on the locating vendors with the required specialized capabilities needed for this type of work, however without technical data described above obtaining full and open competition will be very difficult.
