BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of three (03) each, TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC, P/N: ZF-280-1 (P/N 3207002106-2-01 replaces P/N 3207002087), RATIO 1.30:1. Includes 12V ELECTRIC SHIFT, SAE3 BELLHOUSING, CENTA CFR136 INPUT TORSIONAL COUPLING P/N 3207116012 01, (CFR13601160419-HR $1026.40) and RIGID MOUNTING BRACKETS P/N 3207199053 01. (ORIGINAL SCOPE-OF-SUPPLY FROM SERIAL NUMBER 20201551), NSN:

2520-12-399-6988. Vessel: CB-OTH -IV.

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 TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC, 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 unavailable. The TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC, is used on the CB-OTH-IV, which provides a variety of missions from off the cutter. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation. The TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC, presently installed onboard the CB-OTH-IV is a ZF MARINE brand, any and all offers shall conform to this brand. Failure of the TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC would render the boat inoperable, and jeopardize the crew’s safety when maneuvering and/or docking procedures. Therefore, all replacement parts offered shall be only “official brand” (OEM) parts.

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). Researched the Internet for vendors available to provide ZF MARINE or other vendors capable of supplying the OEM “official” TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC. ZF MARINE is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC.

Contacted vendor distributors’ to ascertain part numbers were current and available.

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

ZF MARINE is the suggested source that can provide the TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC. Any offer of parts shall be “official brand OEM” parts. While other TRANMISSION, HYDRAULICs is available, procuring the ZF MARINE brand will ensure the continuity and configuration of hydraulic transmissions presently installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from this brand of TRANMISSION, HYDRAULIC; another vendor’s offer may not have the same fit, form or function as the installed brand and could lead to fabrication being necessary for installation.

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.
