4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Urgency – The nature of the requirement has been deemed urgent due to unusual and compelling circumstances. Following competitive procedures would result in unacceptable delays resulting in serious injury to the Government.

Missions are compromised without repair. Risk of continued operation damaging recently repaired shaft liners/seals/etc. that can only be repaired by returning the ship to drydock.

Such damage would also result in an emergency drydocking at great expense to the government.

This vendor has already inspected, performed minor repairs from other contractor’s work, and understands the scope of work for these aged and not readily available propellers. This vendor has completed repairs and modifications to similar low-noise propellers for MSC on similar classed vessels with aged and worn propellers.

This work requires extremely specialized expertise, equipment, experience, processes, regulatory approvals, certified divers, etc.

5. Market Research.

Contacted marine dive companies to find potential experienced repair companies. Completed extensive online searches to find vendors with Classifying Body approvals experienced in this repair. Discussed capabilities, time to repair, previous experience, and repair methods with multiple vendors.

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification

I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Initial part of this service was competed and only received one quote. As the previous Purchase Order has expired, a follow-on contract is being prepared for the vendor to come out for a sea trial inspection and repair of the propeller to ensure proper function and use.
