THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS “ONLY KNOWN SOURCE” OR “ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE” ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

Howden American Fan Co. does not use authorized distributors or resellers of it's marine products. Howden American Fan is the OEM and only sells direct. Because this specific fan can only be procured directly from the OEM it is limited to the sole source Howden American Fan Co.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES The CG does not posses the technical data and manufacturing drawings to solicit the parts from another vendor. The CG does not have the organic capabilities to certify aftermarket parts for this system.

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 When Coast Guard purchased the original equipment there were no requirements for manufacturer's drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures. Manufacturer has the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation necessary to manufacture these parts as used on board Coast Guard Cutters.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED The Coast Guard can request the OEM to provide/sell their proprietary manufacturing technical data. The USCG SFLC LREPL does not have any funding allocated for these types of purchases at this time, and historically OEM's do not sell or provide their proprietary manufacturing data rights.
