This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for a non-competitive procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The procurement (Purchase Request 52000PR260001456) seeks unplanned dry-dock and repair services for USCGC HOLLYHOCK WLB 225, including removal and installation of new components on the main reduction gear, complete system overhaul under Origin Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical direction, and work items enabling the vessel's main propulsion system to move forward and aft during restricted maneuvering. The requirement includes preliminary, intermediate, and final checks on tolerances and gear tooth alignment; non-destructive testing of low-speed shafts and couplings; hazardous waste removal and oil sludge diagnosis; and sea trial testing evaluation. The contractor must provide manufacturer's proprietary information, software, and tools; assist with proper repair methods and manufacturer compliance; maintain a clean room environment; and ensure the tech rep is OEM-certified. The work is valued at $250,000.00.

The justification for brand-name restriction cites Rolls Royce Marine North America Inc.'s continued ownership of proprietary technical data and manufacturing information for the CGC HOLLYHOCK WLB 225 components, which the company has declined to release. The Coast Guard anticipates difficulty obtaining future competition but continues to seek access to technical data. The suggested source is Timkin Gears and Services Inc. (UEI: FZPYZ11SFN A6, CAGE Code 17454), located at 935 First Avenue, Suite 200, King of Prussia, PA 19406. Fair and reasonable price determination methods include market research, comparison with previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
