About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a U.S. Coast Guard procurement. The solicitation seeks to purchase 362 P6 Loop Clamps and 79 Start/Stop Instruction Cards from W.S. Darley Co. for surface fleet operational readiness, with a total estimated amount of $45,204.54. The procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures, with justification based on 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements."
The document emphasizes the critical nature of the P6 pump, which is a portable, gas-powered pump used for firefighting and dewatering, and has been designated as Mission Critical Equipment for the Coast Guard's Safe to Sail Criteria. The justification highlights that the pump is proprietary to W.S. Darley Co., specifically manufactured for the U.S. Coast Guard, and that alternative sources cannot be easily evaluated without extensive onboard installation testing. The government indicates potential future actions to overcome the sole-source limitation by reviewing pump performance data and potentially developing a Technical Configuration Technical Order (TCTO) to replace the pump fleet-wide if a suitable alternative is identified.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.
The purchase of (362) P6 Loop Clamp and (79) Start/Stop Instruction Card for use in sustainment of the surface fleets operational readiness.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER
SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.
The P6 is a portable completely self-contained gas-powered pump with dual purpose use as either a source of firefighting water or a dewatering pump. It has been placed on the Mission Critical Equipment list for cutter's Safe to Sail Criteria. It is extremely critical to the safety of the vessel and the personnel aboard for the pump to perform without failure. It would be impossible to determine the suitability of an “other than” recommended manufacturer’s product given the necessary requirements without first conducting onboard installation testing.

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.
The P6 pump is a fleet wide configuration item from the Darley P/N 2BE6.5H P6.
EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL
AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.
Items are proprietary to this manufacturer, W. S. Darley Co.
