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

The purchase of twenty (20) ANODE CORROSION PREVENTIVE, P/N: AQ-AEI-103, NSN: 5342-01-453-1429.

Items are for warehouse stock and not for immediate issue.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

These anodes are critical components of the WILSON WALTON INTERNATIONAL INC cathodic protection system used on board the Coast Guard Cutter HEALY. The cathodic protection system utilizes an electrical charge to prevent marine growth and fouling of HEALY's hull. Strict conformance to the original equipment manufacturer's design and performance specifications are required to ensure proper performance and continued reliability. The technical data required to make a fair and reasonable assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The OEM, WILSON WALTON INTERNATIONAL INC, maintains the proprietary rights for these components and is the only contractor that can guarantee interchangeability of the item.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES As cited in the Federal Logistics Information Service Program, WILSON WALTON INTERNATIONAL INC, is the original equipment manufacturer. In accordance with Commandant Instruction 4130.6B COAST GUARD CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT MANUAL, it is very important to maintain cutter configuration. Performing maintenance and making repairs to the Cutters that are consistent to each requirement enables the Coast Guard to maintain cutter configuration, increase efficiency and reduce costs. The fundamental purpose of configuration management is to ensure that these assets meet their requirements. These cutters are assets that are used to satisfy a need for the Coast Guard’s mission. The configuration of these high value assets specifically impact safety, security, performance, schedule, cost and the environment. This configuration information is paramount to making timely and effective decisions regarding mission execution, mission support, and financial stewardship, and it is therefore imperative that consistency be maintained between these critical assets, their documented configuration and the driving requirements.

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 In accordance with FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (2) When the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source, or, for DoD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, full and open competition need not be provided for. (4) When the agency head has determined in accordance with the agency’s standardization program that only specified makes and models of technical equipment and parts will satisfy the agency’s needs for additional units or replacement items, and only one source is available. See Commandant Instruction 4130.6B COAST GUARD CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT MANUAL. This item is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The overhaul requirements, specifications and other technical data to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of WILSON WALTON INTERNATIONAL INC.

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 with a focus on the locating vendors with the required specialized capabilities to manufacture this item.
