(4) Identification of Statutory Authority permitting Other than Full and Open Competition:

The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2403(c) (1) and 41 U.S.C.

1901 as implemented by FAR 13.501(a) – Special documentation requirement, Sole Source (including brand name) acquisitions. Based on the estimated dollar value of , the supplies necessary can be purchased utilizing the procedures at FAR 13.5 – Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items, implemented by FAR Subpart 6.302-1. FAR Subpart 6.302-1 states “Supplies or services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of a follow-on contract for the continued development or production of a major system or highly specialized equipment, including major components thereof, when it is likely that award to any other source would result in—

(A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition;

or

(B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency’s requirements. (See 10 U.S.C. 2304(d)(1)(B) or 41 U.S.C. 253 (d)(1)(B).”

(5) Demonstration that the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited:

The limitation to procure only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts must be enforced or the Government will experience negative repercussions. Procurement of other than OEM parts create different design characteristics of the boats and would increase the costs of developing an established parts inventory, APL list, configuration data and the overall logistic maintenance plan for Unit and Depot level maintenance, i.e.

PMS cards, Unit level sparing, etc.

The Small boat platforms are critical to Coast Guard operations, including search and rescue, marine safety, law enforcement and other multi-mission operations. The use of unauthorized parts that are not manufactured in accordance with OEM specifications, materials, tolerances, etc., will cause safety issues, jeopardizing the safety of the crew and/or vessel, leading to major mission degradation.

All reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, and other technical data required to manufacture the engine parts and accessories were not purchased by the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard does not possess the necessary data required to obtain full and open competition. Further, the scope of manufacturing, special tools, and equipment required to manufacture various marine engine parts and accessories are unknown. The technical data (manuals, drawings, specifications, etc.) is proprietary to American Honda Motor Co. Without the adequate data, the Coast Guard is not capable of evaluating equal or alternate parts manufactured by other than the OEM.

The use of OEM parts will ensure components and processes are sufficient to enable physical and functional

5 | P a g e interchangeability, as well as identifying and verifying the source, size, configuration, and performance requirements to OEM specifications.

(6) A description of the efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable:

In accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2, a Federal Business Opportunity website notice will be publicized of the Coast Guard’s intent to restrict competition on a brand name basis. This brand name justification will be posted with the solicitation document. The Coast Guard determined through market research, this requirement has multiple potential sources. The OEM, American Honda Motor Co., has a list of authorized distributors on their website.

(7) Determination by the Contracting Officer that the anticipated cost to the government will be fair and reasonable:

The Contracting Officer determines that the anticipated price(s) will be fair and reasonable based on prior acquisition history and price analysis in comparison to the Government’s independent estimate.

(8) Description of market research:

Extensive market research as prescribed in FAR Part 10 was conducted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The COR researched several Internet website and Government databases. While other parts exist within the commercial market place, they are not compatible with the existing configurations of the engine parts and accessories.

Market research was conducted during the periods of December 28, 2016 through January 13, 2017.

(9) Any other facts supporting the use of other than full and open competition:

The engine parts and accessories required for the small boats are of the original equipment configuration as per the American Honda Motor Co. The significance for keeping the configuration during the entire sustainment period cannot be stressed enough; using inferior non-tested or non-approved engine parts and accessories on the platforms will potentially put the crew and boats’ in harm’s way while operating in different sea states. The Coast Guard does not possess any manufacturing data for the engine parts and accessories, components or equipment that would facilitate the procurement of the engine parts and accessories from anyone other than the American Honda Motor Co. and/or their authorized distributors.

Further, the scope of manufacturing, special processes, special tools and equipment required to manufacture the engine parts and accessories, components and equipment is unknown. The use of only OEM parts will ensure that components and processes are sufficient to enable physical and functional interchangeability, as well as identifying source, size, configuration, mating and attachment characteristics, functional characteristics, and performance requirements.

(10) A listing of the sources, if any, that expressed, in writing, an interest in the acquisition:

(11) A statement of actions, if any, the agency may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before any subsequent acquisition for required supplies or services:

The small boats’ will continue to be an on-going need for the Coast Guard. Replacement of the engine parts and accessories with non-OEM parts cannot be considered for reasons stated earlier in this justification. Although the Coast Guard does not currently own the required drawings, specifications, etc., to evaluate other than OEM parts, the Government will make all attempts to obtain this data for future acquisitions. It is not anticipated that any future requirements can be competed on a full and open competition.

(12) Contracting Officer’s Certification.

I certify that the data supporting the recommended use of other than full and open competition is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

(13) Technical/Requirements Personnel Certification.
