A.02 Brand Name J&A - Yaquina Annual Lube Oil_Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification Review Document for a non-competitive procurement of Chevron CV DELO 400 XLE SB15W40 Diesel Engine Oil for the FY25 Dredge Yaquina Annual Lube Oil contract. The procurement is for a total estimated 2,000 gallons of lube oil, with typical delivery quantities of 300-400 gallons per event at locations including Terminal 2 in Portland, OR; Port of Longview, WA; Coos Bay, OR; Newport, OR; and Morro Bay, CA. The justification cites FAR 13.106-1 as the authority for soliciting from a single source, with rationale including that other brand name oils would diminish equipment reliability and the Yaquina has previously experienced unfavorable outcomes with alternative oils. Market research indicates several vendors can provide the specified Chevron product, and a request to small business concerns has been submitted to assist current vendors in obtaining U.S. Coast Guard certification for marine oil transfer.

The document is prepared by Scarlett Millman (Contract Specialist) and reviewed by Brandon Lasich (Contracting Officer), with Justin Zimmerman (Chief Engineer) serving dual roles as both Technical and Requirements Representative. The procurement is for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District, with digital signatures dated 13-14 March 2025. The contracting officer has determined the anticipated cost to be fair and reasonable, based on comparison to the Independent Government Estimate, market research, and previously awarded order pricing. The procurement is subject to availability of funds and follows specific requirements for marine oil transfer certification under Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations.
