4. AUTHORITY CITED: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), contracting officers may solicit from one source if the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available (e.g. urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization)

5. REASONS FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

The Dredges Currituck & Merritt work and travel the entire east coast of the United States to perform dredging operations. It is imperative to maintain the aforementioned engines and generator ends to the best of our capability to mitigate the risks associated with engine or generator end failure.

Mechanical failure of these engines or generator ends could cause extensive vessel and/or property damage, and/or injury, and/or loss of life.

Additionally, there would be extensive cost associated with availability/scheduling of a shipyard/dockside repair facility, and quick response services to repair or replace the failed unit.

Factory specification's and tolerances must be closely adhered to, so as to prevent failure(s). The requirement to use factory trained/certified Caterpillar Marine Power Systems Technicians and the use of New or New Remanufactured Caterpillar brand parts reduces the chance of failure(s).

6. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION: This action will be posted to Beta.SAM.gov and any quotes received that meet the requirement for brand name will be considered for contract award. This will ensure maximum competition between all companies able to provide brand name product.

7. ACTIONS TO INCREASE COMPETITION: There are multiple private sector/commercial sources available. The contracting office will continue to do market to ensure continuous competition for these services.

8. MARKET RESEARCH: Internet searches & previous contracts found the following small business

Vendors/Contractors (not an all-inclusive list) that can provide the labor, materials, supplies, equipment, and services to fulfill the contract requirements summarized in section 3 (above) of this document:
