About this file

The document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures. It supports a sole-source procurement for a qualified technical representative from Wartsilla Defence Inc. to provide services for the overhaul and repair of the propulsion shaft seals on the USCGC KANAWHA. The JOFOC explains that Wartsilla is the only known source that possesses the required proprietary technical data, engineering control, and expertise to support the specific seal arrangement. The government has determined full and open competition is not feasible without access to Wartsilla's proprietary information. The estimated value of the sole-source procurement is above the micro-purchase threshold but below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The contracting authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) - only one responsible source.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. Contractor shall provide the services of qualified TECH REP who is familiar with the Wartsilla Type FSE Shaft seal to provide the following services on site.

Advise on manufacturers proprietary information pertinent to the system and ensure compliance with manufacturers procedures and standards during disassembly, inspection, and reassembly of the system. Assist with proper installation, set up or repair methods

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. The Specification requires “Qualified” TECH REP who is familiar with the Wartsilla marine seal applications, however certain necessary manufacturing data that may be needed to complete the repairs and proprietary and controlled by Wartsilla Defence INC. Wartsilla is the only known source that possesses the required capabilities, drawings, specifications, engineering control required to maintain and support the Type FSE seal arrangement

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).

Work Item will be solicited for competition in KANAWHA DD FY24 availability specification package

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

Services is required to ensure compliance for work being performed on the project Work Items. The absence of an OEM technical representative on site could cause significant damage to equipment if reassembly out of calibration. The manufacturing drawing and specifications are proprietary to OEM and have not been purchased by the Coast Guard

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. Technician must have the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation to provide services on the Work Ite.

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

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

USCG will continue to conduct market research; however, without proprietary technical information describes above, obtaining full and open competition is not realistic. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information
