BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

Purchase of:

1. Five (05) GEARBOX, WINCH; P/N: YMD-7914; NSN: 3010-01-F16-4570

OEM: Appleton Marine Inc. Cage: 70433

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The Appleton Marine Inc., Gearbox Winch, NSN: 3010-01-F16-4570, P/N: YMD-7914 is specifically designed and adapted internally for the

WLM-175 buoy deck cross deck winch’s. Only Appleton Marine YMD-

7914 is acceptable. Appleton Marine makes an internal change that the

Coast Guard does not know or has applicable drawings to determine a suitable replacement to the gearbox winch. Appleton Marine Inc. gearbox winch is known to fit and operate properly with the installed cross deck system it was designed for the WLM-175. The Coast Guard does not possess any proprietary detailed drawings, measurements, or tolerances with which to evaluate offers from other suppliers.

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, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases through NESSS to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide this item and only one source was identified to have the technical.

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 cross deck system, harm personnel, or cause commercial commerce to be interrupted, and all the technical characteristics would all have to be re-done if this is not awarded to 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.

As cited in the Federal Logistics Information Service Program, Defense Maritime Solutions Inc., is the original equipment manufacturer. In accordance with Commandant Instruction M4130.6B, Coast

Guard Configuration Management Manual, it is very important to maintain cutter configuration. Use of other than OEM products would entail development of an engineering change, as required by CGTO

PG-85-00-900-G, Joint Surface Forces Engineering Change Process Guide. This is a lengthy process requiring months of reviews and approvals, during which time the WTGB would not be capable of getting underway to conduct ATON

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Equipment Specialist will continue to conduct market research with a focus on locating vendors that are able to meet requirements.
