About this file
This document is a justification for an exception to fair opportunity for a sole source procurement of generator sets from Cummins Inc. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration requires new generator sets for its Fairweather High Speed Lifeboats to replace failed units. Only Cummins Inc. can provide turnkey replacement generators that match the existing models without additional configuration changes given the small size of the boats. Cummins Inc. was contacted regarding the equipment failures and provided the sole quote to supply the required generators. As the industry standard manufacturer of diesel engines, Cummins generators are widely used across government agencies. This determination deems Cummins Inc. as the only reasonably available source for the procurement.
