THROUGH YOUR MARKET RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION TYPE:

Novenco Marine & Offshore A/S is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Centrifugal Fans currently in use providing exhaust ventilation on the 154’ WPC patrol vessels galley. This contract is intended to enable the Coast Guard to keep these vessels at their original operating capability, current mission requirements and maintain configuration/logistics control. Working in partnership with the OEM distributor is in the best interest of the Coast Guard. The Centrifugal Fans must conform to design, size, materials, configuration, and operational requirements as well as be electrically compatible with the existing electrical system on board the 154’ WPC patrol vessels. The Centrifugal Fans, when in operation, provide outside air to exchange with the existing air in the vessel, maintaining a steady flow of fresh air and positive pressure throughout the vessel. This system provides fresh air for the crew and well as keeping positive pressure inside the vessel keeping unwanted engine exhaust out of the vessel allowing for proper engine operation. The 154’ patrol boats have been in service for over 5 years and routinely operate in bad weather and heavy sea state conditions during 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 prevention. The Novenco Marine & Offshore A/S Fans identified in this acquisition were designed and tested to meet manufacturer requirements and specifications when the vessels were built. A failure of the Centrifugal Fans during vessel operations could cause personal injury as well as reduced engine efficiency and power, electrical overloading, crew discomfort due to stale air, mold growth or electrical fire. Any reduction in engine efficiency or failure of electrical power will cause a multitude of other very serious problems. Any failure of substituted or aftermarket parts could delay mission https://www.acquisition.gov/far/13.106-1 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/5.102 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/11.105 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/11.105 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/13.106-1 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/13.106-1 mailto:jesse@russequipmentco.com http://www.russequipmentco.com/

Last Updated 11/01/24 response, jeopardize the safety of the vessel and crew possibly causing loss of life, property or damage to the environment. The reliability of the Novenco Marine & Offshore A/S Centrifugal Fans is known and acceptable; they have met Coast Guard mission requirements and safety standards through several years of unrestricted use and thousands of operational hours. Determining the equivalency of any non- Novenco Marine & Offshore A/S Centrifugal Fans will require operational testing, design reviews and possible system/sub-system re-engineering to determine their suitability. This effort will require costs that would be diverted from other logistics elements which would then impact on other support areas for the 154’ WPC fleet. Failing to perform these additional efforts and accepting without evaluation so called equivalent Centrifugal Fans is unacceptable and may result in potential personal injuries, reduced reliability, reduced safety, increased maintainability and increased logistical costs which will impact future Coast Guard Mission requirements.
