About this file
This document is a Brand Name Justification for a Motor Windshield Wiper, Electric with the part number IM-WLB-GA81 and NSN 2090-01-667-7118, manufactured by In Mar Solution, LLC. The Coast Guard requires these specific OEM parts as maintenance spares for the windshield wiper system on the WLB-225 class buoy tenders. Other competitive products cannot be used because the Coast Guard lacks the technical data to evaluate alternative parts, and use of non-OEM parts would require a lengthy engineering change process.
The related federal contract opportunity is Solicitation Number 70Z08524Q40215B00 issued by the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center for the procurement of 8 units of the specified motor. The required delivery date is 12/20/2024. Offerors must have an active SAM.gov registration to be considered, and pricing must include delivery to the specified location in Baltimore, MD. Invoicing will be processed through the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP).

BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION
Agency/Office Name: USCG SFLC, IBCT Product Line
1. "Brand name" of product: In Mar Solution, LLC
2. Description of "brand name" product: Motor Windshield Wiper, Electric PN: IM-WLB-GA81, NSN: 2090-01-667-7118.
3. Name of manufacturer of "brand name" product: In Mar Solution, LLC CAGE: 500Z9
4. The "brand name" provided is to identify the standard of quality necessary. Equivalents will be considered. ____NO___ No (If no, please complete Nos. 5 and 6.)
5. If the answer to No. 4 is "no," please complete the following.
Only the "brand name" item specified will meet the Government’s needs:
_____ A. Because patent rights, copyrights, proprietary secret processes, control of certain materials or components providing a superior utility or capability that cannot be obtained from similar products.
__X__ B. Because program requirements cannot be modified so that competitive products or services may be used.
_____ C. Because the product or service is unique and easily established as one-of-a kind.
Please explain:
These items are maintenance spare parts for the windshield wiper system used aboard the WLB-225 class buoy tenders. They are designed to conform to, and mate with each other, and with other existing windshield wiper system components. The Coast Guard does not possess the drawings, design, and other technical data needed to evaluate alternative parts supplies by other sources for comparability. Only OEM parts are guaranteed to be exactly compatible with the parts being replaced.
6. If the answer to No. 4 is "no," please indicate other reasons for restricting competition:
In accordance with Commandant Instruction M4130.6B, Coast Guard Configuration Management Manual, it is very important to maintain cutter configuration. Use of other than OEM brand products would entail development of a new engineering change, as required by CGTO PG-85-00-900-G, Joint Surface Forces Engineering Change Process Guide. This is a lengthy process requiring months of reviews, approvals, and prototyping, and would result in differences between vessels in the cutter class.
