BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of VARIOUS PARTS provided by HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET supporting the MARINE JET DRIVEs installed on various platforms. Vessel: Multi. (See Enclosure 1). HAMILTON JET is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

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 MARINE JET DRIVE parts required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable.

The MARINE JET DRIVE is used to propel multiple small boat platforms, which supports multiple SAR & LE missions. The MARINE JET DRIVE provides the forward and reverse thrust and permits proper handling and steering of the boat. A failure to this system would result in a loss of underway or docking maneuverability, causing a severe degradation to the mission and safety of the crew.

HAMILTON JET is the installed brand on these platforms. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper (OEM) parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation. Therefore, all replacement parts offered shall be only “official brand” (OEM) parts.

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). Researched the Internet for vendors available to provide the VARIOUS PARTS, HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET. All offers must be the HAMILTON JET brand parts. Another vendor’s parts may not contain the same fit, form and function as the HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD brand. Searched for other vendors capable of supplying the VARIOUS PARTS. While other vendors may produce the VARIOUS PARTS, to deviate from the installed brand may require fabrication upon installation.

HAMILTON JET, does have known distributors.

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

HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET is the suggested source that can provide the MARINE JET DRIVE “official” (OEM parts), brand, to support the installed equipment. All offers must be the HAMILTON JET brand parts. HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the MARINE JET DRIVE parts. Another vendor’s parts may not contain the same fit, form and function as the HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from the parts installed; another vendor’s offer may lead to fabrication being necessary for installation.

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.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
