About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) and a related Request for Quote (RFQ) for the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center. The solicitation seeks specialized parts for small boat launching and recovery systems used on WMSL-418 class cutters, with a total estimated value of $223,558.50. The procurement includes 10 line items such as springs, pins, washers, motors, and other mechanical components, all manufactured exclusively by Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp.
The RFQ requires vendors to be either the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or an authorized distributor, with a mandatory letter from Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp verifying distributor status. The required delivery date for all items is 10/28/2025, with no substitutions allowed. Vendors must submit quotes by 03/25/2025 at 12 PM EST, package items according to specific military packaging standards, and invoice through the IPP system. The acquisition is justified as a sole-source procurement due to the proprietary nature of the parts and the critical mission requirements of the Coast Guard's boat handling systems.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION
SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)
SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE
REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.
These are parts of the winch assembly for small boat launching & recovery system which is essential for the WMSL-418 class cutters to conduct its primary mission. The use of non- OEM parts or substitute motors could lead to failure of the winch and evaluation of non- OEM parts is not possible due to the CG does not possess technical design data, tolerances, and other necessary information. Failure of this system or its components may lead to major damage to the small boat, unsafe conditions for cutter/small boat personnel.
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).
Market Research from OEM showed that Superior-Lidgerwood-Mundy Corp is the sole source for the parts being procured. OEM has no authorized vendors from which the USCG can procure from.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE
SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.
The Coast Guard did not purchase the manufacturer's proprietary data rights, and therefore, cannot determine with certainty that an alternative part number would amount to, interface with, or operate effectively with Coast Guard Cutters. Failure of an alternative part, not conforming to the OEM's specifications, could cause damage to the cutters. The manufacturing drawing and specifications have not been purchased by the Coast Guard.

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 acquisition must be made using sole source parts, assemblies, and vendor. The applicable statutory authority applicable is 10 USC 2304(c) (1) because the OEM is the only known source that possesses the required capabilities, drawings, specifications, engineering control procedures and proprietary methods to ensure the latest design configuration, manufacturing and quality control required to produce parts to the latest engineering specifications and requirements. The Coast Guard does not possess or own the technical data required to solicit these parts from a source other than the OEM or an OEM distributor.
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 with a focus on locating vendors that are able to meet requirements, however without technical data described above obtaining full and open competition will be difficult. The Coast Guard cannot require any vendor to release proprietary information.
