About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the purchase of 25 fuel injector assemblies, Part Number 5303101, NSN 2910-01-677-9696, for the US Coast Guard's LRI-2 vessel.

The JOFOC justifies a sole source award to Cummins Inc., the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), as the only source that possesses the technical data and drawings required to properly manufacture the injector assembly. The injector assembly is a critical component of the vessel's fuel system, and failure would result in the loss of power. Market research did not identify any other sources capable of providing the OEM-branded parts required to maintain configuration and ensure performance. The estimated cost is over the micro-purchase threshold but within the simplified acquisition threshold. The US Coast Guard intends to award a firm fixed price purchase order with a required delivery date of October 12, 2024.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE: The purchase of twenty-five , (25) Injector Assembly, P/N: 5303101, NSN: 2910-01-677-9696 Vessel: LRI-2

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 INJECTOR ASSEMBLY is required for the

Engine to run. The INJECTOR ASSEMBLY is a crucial part of the fuel system used on the LRI-2 critical for providing fuel power requirements especially during underway operations. Failure of the INJECTOR

ASSEMBLY would result in failure of the generator in return, placing the vessel in a hazardous situation with the loss of power

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.

CUMMINS INC. or other vendors capable of supplying “official OEM parts”. CUMMINS INC is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the INJECTOR

ASSEMBLY. Procuring the OEM brand will ensure the continuity and configuration presently installed on the

LRI-2.

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.
