IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING OFFICE, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A “JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.” PLEASE CITE THE

AUTHORITY AND TYPE OF JUSTIFICATION.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), US Coast Guard (USCG) Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) Icebreaker, Buoy and Construction Tender Product Line (IBCTPL) Contracting Office located at 300 E. Main Street Norfolk, VA 23510.

Proposes to enter into a single, requirements contract with a qualified technical representative of Detroit Diesel and/or Detroit Diesel on the basis of other than full and open competition.

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

The supplies required are Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts from Detroit Diesel for overhaul and repair of both DD 8V-71 series main diesel engines installed aboard USCGC ELDERBERRY (WLI 65401). ELDERBERRY is homeported in Petersburg, AK but is currently undergoing dry dock repairs at Base Ketchikan’s Industrial Production Facility. Only OEM parts can be used to ensure the ship’s safety and operability within the District Seventeen Area of Responsibility (AOR).

A qualified technical representative of Detroit Diesel to ensure adequate knowledge and training of personnel must provide the technical services required.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

Detroit Diesel 8V-71 engines require proprietary information and OEM training to be reliably and effectively maintained.

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).

Solicitation 70Z085-18-Q-P45D1200 was posted on FedBizOpps on 8/15/2018; zero quotes received. Solicitation 70Z085-19-Q- P4505300 was posted on FedBizOpps on 11/29/2018; zero quotes received. Market research indicates at least two small businesses listed in SAM are capable and willing to provide the required parts and services.

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

Using non-OEM parts or receiving services from an unqualified technician would endanger the safety, operability, and reliability of the main diesel engines, ELDERBERRY, and her crew. (Note that Detroit Diesel is a product line of MTU GmbH, which is a division of Rolls-Royce Power Systems AG.)

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.
