6. Pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if they determine that the circumstances of contract action deem only one source reasonably available:

Check the appropriate reason below:

X - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, i.e. Unique capabilities, Limited number of sources, Proprietary data or

- Brand Name Mandatory

- Unusual & Compelling Urgency

- Industrial Mobilization/Standardization

7. These items are needed for the repair and restoration of existing Sewage Holding

Collection Tank used onboard 270’ WMEC Class Cutters. The Computer

Subassembly is programmed for the Sewage Holding Collection Tank for PLC

Control. The Coast Guard did not purchase the manufacturer's proprietary data rights, and therefore, cannot determine with certainty that an alternative part number would mount to, interface with, or operate effectively with Coast Guard Cutters. Failure of an alternative part, not conforming to the OEM's specifications, could cause damage to the cutters; it could also create a situation that would endanger life of the ships' personnel. The manufacturing drawing and specifications have not been purchased by the Coast Guard. Technical Marine Service, Inc. is the OEM of the Computer

Subassemblies.

8. When Coast Guard purchased the original equipment there were no requirements for manufacturer’s drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures. OEM is the only know manufacturer that has the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation necessary to manufacture these parts as used onboard Coast Guard Cutters.

9. COR will continue to conduct market research with a focus on locating vendors that are able to meet requirements, however without technical data described above obtaining full and open competition will be very difficult. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information.
