BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of ten (10) each, COMPASS, MAGNETIC, P/N: D-515-P-5N12, NSN: 6605-00-618-9495. Vessel: 47’ SLEP. RITCHIE E S and SONS INC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the parts, therefore, any material offered shall conform to this brand.

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 COMPASS, MAGNETIC, required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable.

The COMPASS, MAGNETIC, is critical for the safe navigation of the vessel during underway maneuvers and nighttime operations.

Especially, during buoy handling operations. Failure of the COMPASS, MAGNETIC, could cause the boat limited navigation abilities.

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.

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 magnetic compasses. RITCHIE NAVIGATION Compasses are the brand presently installed onboard the 47’ MLBs and have proven reliability. The RITCHIE NAVIGATION Compass are installed across the 47’ platform, in order to maintain configuration of spare parts. Any and all other offers must conform to this brand.

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

RITCHIE NAVIGATION is the suggested source that can provide the MAGNETIC COMPASS. Any offer of parts shall be “official brand OEM” parts. RITCHIE NAVIGATION is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the MAGNETIC COMPASS. The part number for the MAGNETIC COMPASS is uniquely supplied by RITCHIE NAVIGATION and have proven sufficient to maintain configuration and maintenance for the installed compass.

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. 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.
