About this file

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition simplified acquisition procedures for a federal contract opportunity. The Coast Guard requires overhaul and repair services for the Z-drive propulsion units and Cooper drive shaft support bearings on the CGC KATHERINE WALKER. The contractor must provide a qualified technical representative familiar with the Ulstein model 1350-H Z-drive propulsion unit to advise on proprietary system information, assist with repair methods, and ensure compliance with manufacturer's procedures during overhaul. There are four known sources with access to the original equipment manufacturer's proprietary technical drawings and tools necessary to satisfactorily complete the work: Rolls Royce, Kongsberg, Thrustmaster, and Pacific Star Marine. The Coast Guard will solicit the opportunity on SAM.gov but the technical representative requirement will be approved by the contracting officer during contract performance since full and open competition is not feasible without access to the proprietary information.

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.

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 described above, obtaining full and open competition is not realistic. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information
