BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE The purchase of four hundred (400) EGRESS LIGHT, P/N: OUTF0119; NSN: 6220-01-564-2126. Vessel: 29’ RBS.

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 Thermostat required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is inadequate to allow for evaluation of another O.E.M.’s part. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper O.E.M. parts and without access to O.E.M. reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could cause the

Coast Guard to receive a part that is not interchangeable with the existing one. This EGRESS LIGHT will allow the crew members to see when power is lost. Failure of this part would put the crew in danger not allowing them to see to escape route.

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, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

HOUGH MARINE AND MACHINE INC

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

SAFE BOAT INTERNATIONAL is the O.E.M. of these EGRESS LIGHT and the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture these EGRESS LIGHT.

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.

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.
