6. Pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if they determine that the circumstances of contract action deem only one source reasonably available; check the appropriate reason below:

X - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements, i.e. Unique capabilities, Limited number of sources, Proprietary data or

- Brand Name Mandatory

- Unusual & Compelling Urgency

- Exclusive Licensing Agreements

- Industrial Mobilization/Standardization

7. The shaft seal creates the barrier where the propulsion shaft penetrates the hull preventing the entry of seawater. The MA Shaft Seal Overhaul Kit is required maintenance on the rotating shaft part and must meet the exact requirements of the installed rotating assembly part of the shaft seal. A failure of the item will render ships’ propulsion system non-functional, possible flood of the ship, causing loss of CG mission capability. The Commandant's instruction 4130.6A calls for configuration management. These seal assemblies are in APL

83717240A5 which are used on the 270 fleet and must be the same configuration to ensure effective logistics support. The item conforms to exact design and material requirements for form, fit, function to meet the required overhaul with the current system; any variance could cause failure or malfunction, jeopardize personnel safety, and subsequent inability to meet the needs of the Coast Guard.

8. The Manufactures drawings and specifications for this item are proprietary commercial property of the OEM; the Coast Guard has not purchased this information. The OEM is the only know provider meeting system requirements for form, fit, and function.

9. COTR 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 very difficult. The Coast

Guard cannot require any vendor to release any vendor to release proprietary data.
