This is a Justification Review Document and Sole Source Justification for other than full and open competition under FAR Part 13 for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Portland District. The document justifies a sole-source award to Coastal Marine Engine Systems Service in Seattle, WA for repair and maintenance of the Dredge Essayons' Zodiac Hurricane 36 Rescue Boat, which has suffered damage to its outdrive system and transom.

The procurement is a firm-fixed-price contract funded by OMA for OEM Certified repair services on the Volvo Penta Diesel inboard/outboard propulsion system. The justification cites urgency and OEM certification requirements, as the boat is critical lifesaving equipment required by the U.S. Coast Guard for safe vessel operation. Market research through UNICOR, Ability1, SBDS, GSA Advantage and internet searches found no other authorized service providers. The document is dated November 14, 2024 and references a previous non-competed purchase order W9127N24P0086. The contracting officer determined pricing will be fair and reasonable based on standard shop rates and comparison to an Independent Government Estimate, though the specific contract value is redacted in the document.
