USCG SFLC CPD-3. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. In accordance with statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of fifty (7) each, OUTBOARD MOTOR, GASOLINE, STBD., P/N BF225DXRA, NSN 2805-01-679-3636 and twenty (7) each, OUTBOARD MOTOR, GASOLINE, PORT, P/N BF225DXCRA, NSN 2805-01-679-3534. Vessel: MULTI.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. The technical data for the HONDA ENGINE required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The HONDA ENGINE brand name parts are installed on multiple platforms. The engines are critical for the safe operation of the vessel during underway and maneuvering operations. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Researched the Internet for vendors available to provide the HONDA ENGINE parts. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., is the brand presently installed onboard, compatible with the HONDA ENGINES on board Coast Guard small boats. Searched for other vendors capable of supplying the OEM “official” HONDA ENGINE parts. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC.

AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., has several known distributors’.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., is the suggested source that can provide the HONDA ENGINE, “official” OEM, brand, to support the installed equipment. Any and all offers must be the AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand. Another vendor’s part may not contain the same fit, form and function as the AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand, and could lead to fabrication being necessary for installation. The installation of AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand will ensure the continuity and configuration of the HONDA ENGINE parts presently installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from this brand, AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO. INC.; another vendor’s offer may not have the same fit, form or function as the installed brand

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. This is a proprietary commercial item. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the OEM.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
