About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JNCP) for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The solicitation is for a TRANSMITTER, RUDDER (Part Number 701110-11, NSN 6320-20-014-3124) for a 47 FT MLB vessel, with a quantity of 10 units to be delivered on or before 06/20/2025. The procurement is specifically for a Jastram Engineering Ltd. brand component, which is critical for indicating rudder blade position and transmitting information to vessel control areas during emergency maritime situations.
The justification for sole source is based on the technical data and manufacturing specifications being exclusively controlled by Jastram Engineering Ltd., with no alternative sources able to reproduce the component without risking mission degradation. The Coast Guard has conducted market research, including contacting the original equipment manufacturer and authorized distributors, and determined that Jastram Engineering Ltd. is the only source capable of providing this specialized transmitter. The Contracting Officer has cited 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, indicating that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy the agency's requirements. The estimated procurement will be made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with the Contracting Officer committed to continued market research to potentially identify alternative sources in future acquisitions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.
The purchase of TRANSMITTER, RUDDER P/N 701110-11 NSN 6320-20-014-3124 VESSEL: 47 FT 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 the TRANSMITTER, RUDDER required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The TRANSMITTER, RUDDER is a critical component that is necessary in the process of providing assistance during S-O-S calls to prevent loss of life and loss of private or military vessels particularly during heavy weather conditions. The TRANSMITTER, RUDDER is used to indicate the position of the rudder blade and transmits that information to the wheelhouse, bridge wings controls and engine control room. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M). parts and without access to O.E.M. reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, 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).
Contacted Original Equipment Manufacturer, including authorized distributor, commercial distributor, and extensive internet search for sources.

AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
This is as proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction 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 O.E.M.
