SOW Fredrick Hatch EDG Louvers.docx

This is a Statement of Work (SOW) for the CGC Frederick Hatch STBD EDG Louver requirement issued by the federal government as a brand-name only solicitation. The requirement specifies that only Centek Marine products and services are acceptable due to compatibility, standardization, and lifecycle support considerations, with no substitutions permitted. This restriction is justified under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 for FAR Part 12, establishing a non-competitive procurement limited to authorized vendors of Centek Marine. All prospective offerors must provide a valid Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) prior to contract award to demonstrate authorized source status and ensure warranty compliance, safety, and proper integration with existing systems. Failure to provide a valid LOA upon request will result in a determination of non-responsibility and disqualification from award consideration.

The solicitation was issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) Number 52000QR270000744 and includes Solicitation Amendment #1, which modified distribution limitations and decryption requirements to enable authorized prospective vendors to access and view the SOW document on the solicitation platform. All other terms and conditions of the original solicitation remain unchanged, and offerors are encouraged to submit proof of authorized source status with their initial quotation to expedite evaluation and award. The apparent successful offeror must provide a valid LOA prior to contract award, with authorized status evaluated strictly as a matter of contractor responsibility in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.1.
