BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The brand name purchase of twenty-five (25) EXPANSION CONNECTOR manufactured by Boulden Company Inc., P/N: FL03Z-03TF1-03TF1-2-24120076, NSN 2815-01-519-1854 for the 49 BUSL vessel. The EXPANSION CONNECTOR are provided by Boulden Company Inc., the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

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 EXPANSION CONNECTOR is proprietary to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Boulden Company 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 Boulden Company Inc. acts as a flexible joint between the engine's exhaust manifold and the muffler, allowing for slight movement and vibration without putting stress on the exhaust piping due to the engine's movement while the boat is underway, essentially preventing leaks and potential damage from constant expansion and contraction of the exhaust system. 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.

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.

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.
