Eight (08) Block && Tackle, Drum Pwr; P/N: MODEL#420, NSN: 3940-01-526-5592

OEM: Smith Berger Marine, Inc.. CAGE CODE: 15950 UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: Items needed for repair & restoration of the main buoy handling system and are designed to conform and mate with, other existing components of the cross deck winch assembly. Failure of the cross deck winch assembly will prevent the WLB-225B class cutters from preforming their primary mission and potentially cause major damage or personnel injury. The Coast Guard does not possess the design data and tolerances required to evaluate alternative parts supplied by other sources to determine compatibility with the parts being replaced.

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 mount 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.
