2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTION:

This will be a firm-fixed-price supply procurement of lube oil deliveries upon request for a specific quantity, type, location, and date to the Dredge Essayons and Dredge Yaquina.

The Period of Performance (PoP) of lube oil deliveries is approximately 31 March 2026 -19 March 2027.

3. AUTHORITY CITED: RFO 12.102(a) - For acquisitions valued at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), document the decision that only one source is available and the basis for the decision.

4. REASON FOR AUTHORITY CITED:

a. Background: This annual request for the Dredge Vessels Essayons and Yaquina, with a total of ~900-2,000 gallons per delivery of MobilGard HST+ 15w-40 Extra High Perf

JUNE 2025

Diesel Engine Oil, used on Caterpillar C-280, 3512C, and C18 engines to maintain efficient operational use for ESSAYONS and ~ 300-400 gallons of Chevron CV DELO 400 XLE SB15W40 Diesel Engine Oil to the YAQUINA. The Vessels will provide seven

(7) days advance notice of docking date and location for deliveries.

b. Justification: Other brand name oils would diminish the reliability of the equipment consistent with premature wear, component failures, and sludge buildup, therefore the use of Chevron CV DELO 400 XLE SB15W40 Diesel Engine Oil for the Yaquina and MobilGard HST+ 15w-40 Extra High Perf Diesel Engine Oil for the Essayons, is advantageous in maintaining the useful life of the engines. Because the diesel oil will be transported across water, interested vendors must be certified by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to transfer oil over water.

c. Impact: the use of other oils consistent with premature wear, component failures, and sludge buildup, ultimately diminishing the reliability of the equipment. It is imperative to maintain the effectiveness of the identified engines, otherwise engine failure, facility damage and/or loss, and/or human loss or injury is imminent.

d. Alternatives: There are no known alternatives for these brand name products at this time.

5. EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COMPETITION:

There are several vendors that can provide Chevron CV DELO 400 XLE SB15W40 Diesel Engine Oil and MobilGard HST+ 15w-40 Extra High Perf Diesel Engine Oil, but the option to receive this product from a vendor without the USCG certification is in violation of Title 33 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 154.325(d) and meets all applicable requirements for a mobile transfer facility outlined in 33 CFR Parts 154 and 156 for operations in the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port Zone.
