J and A Form Signed Redacted.pdf

This is a "Use of Other Than Full and Open Competition" justification document submitted by FLC San Diego on behalf of NRSW Port Operations (N31).

The procurement seeks six replacement generators for Harbor Security and Oil Spill abatement boats maintained by NRSW Port Operations. These generators must be Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) replacements for Westerbeke units, as the boats operate in excess of 45,000 hours annually and require custodial commands that are not authorized to alter the model or make of components without NAVSEA approval per Naval Ships Technical Manual 583, Page 17, Par 1.6.2. The delivery period is from 03/31/2026 to 09/30/2026. The estimated dollar value is $0.00, indicating this is a template or draft document without finalized pricing.

The justification is based on a brand name requirement, as Westerbeke is the exclusive authorized manufacturer for these replacement parts. The document establishes that using non-OEM generators would result in significantly higher costs for labor and materials, require extensive re-engineering and re-wiring of each vessel, and compromise operational readiness by removing security boats from service for extended custom fabrication periods. The contracting officer determined that no unusual or compelling urgency exists and that only one responsible source (Westerbeke) is available due to exclusive licensing agreements. The document includes certification sections for technical cognizance, requirements cognizance, contracting officer approval, legal sufficiency review, and head of contracting activity approval, though signature blocks are redacted.
