RATIONALE FOR JUSTIFICATION TYPE SELECTED ABOVE TO INCLUDE RELEVANT INFORMATION GAINED

THROUGH YOUR MARKET RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION TYPE:

Caterpillar is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). Caterpillar Inc. does not share its business practices, manufacturing techniques, specifications, drawings, or any other manufacturing processes with non-authorized vendors.

Caterpillar Inc. only shares its products with authorized distributors. The use of non-OEM brand products would require the development of a new engineering change package, as outlined in CGTO PG-85-00-900-G, Joint Surface Forces Engineering Change Process Guide. This is a lengthy process that involves months of reviews, approvals, and prototyping, which will impact onboard operations, troubleshooting, system safety, maintenance schedules, and testing. Therefore, it is imperative to maintain consistency between all caterpillar engines, their documented configuration, and the driving requirements.
