About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center. The document seeks to procure fifty (50) SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE items manufactured by JDCI Enterprises Inc. (Part Number: TANB-BUNK-POLY, NSN 9390-01-723-9436) for a 26' TANB vessel. The justification is based on 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), citing that JDCI Enterprises Inc. is the only responsible source capable of providing the specialized protective sheet. The unique characteristics include proprietary technical data that prevents other manufacturers from accurately reproducing the item, which is designed to create a smooth, slippery surface for boat trailer launching and loading, minimizing friction and potential hull damage.

The document outlines market research efforts, confirming no alternative vendors can provide the exact OEM material. The Contracting Officer notes that the technical drawings and specifications are controlled by JDCI Enterprises Inc. and were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Contracting Officer of Record will continue to conduct market research to potentially locate alternative vendors in future acquisitions. The required delivery date is on or before August 9, 2025, with the total procurement being a firm-fixed price purchase order processed through the Surface Forces Logistics Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of fifty (50) SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE manufactured by JDCI Enterprises Inc., P/N: TANB-BUNK-POLY, NSN 9390-01-723- 9436 for the 26’ TANB vessel.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. All technical data for the required SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE is proprietary to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), JDCI Enterprises Inc., and as such, is unavailable to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment for meeting the Coast Guards performance, fit, form and function requirements. The JDCI Enterprises Inc. SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE is used to cover the bunks on a boat trailer, creating a smooth, slippery surface to make launching and loading the boat easier by allowing it to slide on and off the trailer with less friction; essentially acting as a protective layer that prevents damage to the boat's hull from the trailer's wooden bunks. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper OEM technical data and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances/parameters, and test procedures could lead to major system failures and 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). Conducted Market Research using internet searches and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors with the capability of providing the required OEM material. Any vendor that can provide the required OEM material and has an active SAM registration is eligible for this requirement.

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

JDCI Enterprises Inc. is the only brand acceptable to provide the SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE. JDCI Enterprises Inc.

is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the SHEET, NONMETALLIC, PROTECTIVE.

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.
