The Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) Icebreaker, Buoy & Construction Tender Product Line, (IBCT-PL) located at 300 E. Main Street Norfolk, VA. 23511 JUSTIFICATION.FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. Authority: FAR 6.302.-1 Only One Responsible Source

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

The requirement in Work Item D-016 Specification “Buoy Crane, Inspect and Service” requires the Contractor to provide the services of a “Qualified” technical representative, who is familiar with the Appleton crane model SB230-42 equipment system, to accomplish the following onsite: Assist with proper repair methods, and ensure compliance with manufacturer’s procedures & standards during disassembly, inspection, repair, modification, calibration and reassembly of the equipment / system.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The Specification requires that the Technical Representative providing oversight be familiar with the Appleton crane model SB230-42 to accomplish the scope of work through experience or technical training, however, certain necessary manufacturing data that may be needed to complete the repairs are proprietary and controlled by Appleton Marine. Appleton Marine is the only known source that possesses the required capabilities, drawings, specifications, engineering control procedures and proprietary methods to ensure the latest design configuration, manufacturing and quality control required to complete the onsite assist with WI D-016.

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).

The solicitation will include the Work Items in the specification and this Justification & Approval (redacted).

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

Services are required to ensure compliance for work being performed on the project Work Item. The absence of a Qualified Appleton Crane Tech Rep representative on-site could cause significant damage to equipment if reassembly out of calibration. The manufacturing drawing and specifications are proprietary information, and the Tech Rep will provide proprietary information, software, and tools pertinent to the equipment/system. The manufacturing drawing and specifications are proprietary to EOM 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.

The “Technical Representative” as required in this instance shall have the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation necessary to provide services on the work items.

August 2020

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.
