About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the U.S. Coast Guard's procurement of ten SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE units (P/N 0-112-130-6000, NSN 3040-01-F17-4976) for the 17'CBM (H558) vessel.

The document justifies sole source procurement from COAST POWERTRAIN LTD and their authorized distributors under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), citing that they are the only responsible source with the technical data and manufacturing capabilities. The flexible drive shaft is critical for transferring power from main engines to the propeller, and any alternate manufacturing without OEM specifications could compromise mission capability and crew safety. The Coast Guard never purchased the reproduction manufacturing drawings or technical specifications, which remain proprietary to the OEM. The COTR will continue market research to identify potential future vendors who can meet Coast Guard requirements. The document is dated March 8, 2023, and includes customer signature dated 12/10/2024.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

The purchase of TEN (10) each SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE P/N 0-112-130-6000 NSN 3040-01-F17-4976 VESSEL: 17’CB- M (H558)

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 SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE 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 SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE is used to transfer torsion between the engine and the drive.

The SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE is critical for providing transfer of power from the main engines to the propeller. A failure of this system would result I a loss of underway or docking maneuverability, causing a severe degradation to the mission and safety of the crew. 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.

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

The SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE is a COAST POWERTRAIN LTD. brand. COAST POWERTRAIN LTD and their authorized distributors is the suggested and only source that can provide the SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE. This brand is installed across the 17’CB-M platform, to maintain configuration of spare parts. Any and all other offers must conform to this brand. COAST POWERTRAIN LTD. is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the

SHAFT, DRIVE, FLEXIBLE.

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 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.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

COTR will continue to market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard, including a requirement for manufacture’s engineering/manufacturing drawings, detailed parts list, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
