3. The TSGB Main Engine Annual Overhauls FY23 is estimated to cost $230,000.00 and is required to be completed and delivered by 03/31/2023. Contractor/Vendor support is required for TSGB

Main Engine Annual Overhauls FY23, SR 0302474, Main Engine Annual Inspection and

Repairs. The intent of this item is to describe the overhaul and inspection of four (4) Main

Engine Cylinders along with the open & inspection of each adjacent main bearing. The vessel may choose to pull the cylinder heads and pistons and stage on board prior to contractor arrival.

Andrew Barry (Marine Surveyor/COR • MAR617 - Division of Pacific Operations – Oakland)

Sole Source Justification Statement dated 1/3/23: Requirement is for repair work on the

Training Ship GOLDEN BEAR to both the Mak 6 cylinder Ship Support Diesel Marine

Engine(SSDG) (MODEL is a V6 Mak 4 stroke type 6M332) and the Main Engine (Enterprise

R5V16 diesel engines) and their associated parts. These engines are antiquated and few currently exist. Enterprise went out of business in 1989. Mak was bought out by Caterpillar in

1997. The work required is time-consuming and expensive and cannot be done reliably by most diesel repair shops. Worldwide Diesel Power (large business) out of Jacksonville, Florida is the only known source that can perform the repairs. A notice of the intent to procure sole source with the description of the requirement, inclusive of Statement of Work, was accomplished last year. Following the completion of the intent last year’s items were sole sourced to Worldwide Diesel Power. Therefor as this year’s requirements are similar to last year, recommend sole source this year requirements to Worldwide Diesel Power.

5. Check and fill in all that are applicable:

The material or service must be compatible in all aspects (form, fit, and function) with existing mailto:chris.stewart@kemarine.com http://www.kemarine.com/ systems presently installed. The current equipment is <insert description of current equipment>, and the new item/service must coordinate, connect, or interface with the existing system by

<insert description of how the new item/service must coordinate or interface>.

Other information to support a sole-source buy: TSGB Main Engine Annual Overhauls FY23 is pertinent to the agency maritime mission, due to the urgency, time frame and the TS Golden

Bear Ship activation scheduled for May 2023. This acquisition is vital to ship’s operations, in order to function efficiently, effectively and without problems while at sea. The requirement is necessary to proceed with other ship repair issues. The vendor is the major institution within the United States and has familiarity with the requested unique services. To allow for continuity of services without any interruption that may seriously impact operations, KE Marine Inc. dba

World Wide Diesel Power is the only vendor who can perform this service.
