BRAND NAME JUSTIFICATION
NAPIER
1. "Brand name" of product: TURBO SUPERCHARGER P/N: 3GS73B123FJ; NSN: 2950-01-491-9233, QTY: 02
2. Description of "brand name" product:
ITEM IS AN EXTERNAL TURBOSUPERCHARGER FOR THE MAIN PROPULSION MOTOR ON A WLB SEA-GOING CLASS BUOY TENDER 225’. USING AN AFTERMARKET SUPPLIER WOULD RESULT IN CATASTOPHIC ENGINE FAILURE OF THE MAIN PROPULSION MOTOR.
3. Name of manufacturer of "brand name" product: Napier Turbochargers Ltd, CAGE: KCFJ3.
4. The "brand name" provided is to identify the standard of quality necessary. Equivalents will be considered. __X_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.
__X__ C. Because the product or service is unique and easily established as one-of-a kind.
Please explain: This item is used on the Main Diesel Engine and it's performance characteristics must maintain exactly the same as original to keep the data it feeds to the Main Propulsion Control and Operating System (MPCMS) within parameters. The MPCMS continually reads and adjusts multiple different items to keep the vessel operating at optimal performance. By replacing any of the internal rotating parts with something other than OEM, we run the risk of having the control system (MPCMS) unable to make the propulsion plant function as designed.
6. If the answer to No. 4 is "no," please indicate other reasons for restricting competition:
As cited in the Federal Logistics Information Service Program, NAPIER is the original equipment manufacturer. 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 an 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 and approvals, during which time the Main Propulsion System would not be supported.
