About this file
This document provides a justification for other than full and open competition for a federal contract opportunity with the Department of Homeland Security and US Coast Guard. The contract requires technical representative services from a qualified contractor to assist with overhaul of Rolls Royce 175-thruster systems aboard the USCGC WILLIAM TATE, including providing proprietary manufacturer information, approved repair methods, and ensuring compliance with standards. Due to intellectual property rights and proprietary technical data, Rolls Royce and Kongsberg Inc. are identified as the only known sources able to complete this specialized work, as the original equipment manufacturer and partner selected to support the design configuration. The justification explains the need to use other than full and open competition is because of the proprietary nature of the technical data and specialized expertise required.
