Attachment 6 - IF J and A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Logistics Center. The document details a sole source contract with Fincantieri Marine Systems for maintenance and overhaul services of Isotta Fraschini Model V1312TI-MLH-KC Main Diesel Engines on specific vessel classes, including the 65' River Buoy Tender and 75' Inland Construction Tender. The contract is an Indefinite Delivery Requirements Contract with Fixed-Price Orders, with a base year and four potential option years, each lasting 12 months.

Fincantieri is identified as the sole authorized distributor and service provider in North America for these specific engines, with exclusive manufacturing technical representation, parts, proprietary drawings, and technical data rights. The solicitation number is 70Z08525RIBCT0001, and a sources sought notice was posted to SAM.gov from May 6, 2024 to May 24, 2024. The current contract performance period ends on March 29, 2025, and orders will be funded with current fiscal year funding. The government emphasizes that without this contract, there would be mission degradation, increased safety concerns, and potential navigation security issues for these vessels.
