About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the procurement of 50 battery chargers, Part Number PT-24-45U-CG, NSN 6130-01-618-5935, for use on 45 FT Coastal Utility Boats operated by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The JOTFOC states that Newmar Power or their authorized distributors are the only sources capable of providing the required technical data, engineering specifications, and genuine OEM parts necessary to successfully manufacture the battery chargers to the necessary form, fit, and function. The U.S. Coast Guard has not procured the technical data package from the OEM, so it remains proprietary. The estimated purchase amount is above the micro-purchase threshold but below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The procurement will be conducted as a sole source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) - Only One Responsible Source. The U.S. Coast Guard is requesting quotations for this requirement with a delivery date of August 15, 2024. The resultant purchase order will be awarded using Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE The purchase of fifty (50)

BATTERY CHARGER, P/N: PT-24-45U-CG; NSN: 6130-01-618-5935 Vessel: 45 FT RBM.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.: The technical data for the BATTERY CHARGER is required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is inadequate to allow for evaluation of another O.E.M.’s part. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper O.E.M. parts and without access to O.E.M. reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, will result in failure of the batteries onboard the 45’ RBM. If the batteries are unable to keep charged due to an incorrect BATTERY CHARGER that does not conform to form, fit, and function of the RBM, may fail to properly charge the batteries and leave the boat inoperable.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Conducted market research using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

HOUGH MARINE AND MACHINE INC

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

ROI Development Corp, NEWMAR is the O.E.M. of the above listed BATTERY CHARGER and the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture this BATTERY

CHARGER.

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. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the OEM.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
