About this file

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for the US Coast Guard CGC CYPRESS. The procurement, valued at $19,588, is for replacement heaters including crew berthing ducting heaters and stern thruster space heaters that have failed. The justification cites authority under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for only one responsible source.

The document justifies sole source procurement from Vlad Electric (also referred to as Valad) based on space and electrical requirements specific to the ship. Market research efforts over one month failed to identify alternative sources, and Valad provided a sole source letter stating they own all rights to these heaters with no distributors. The justification notes that using a different manufacturer would require altering the ship, and recommends stocking required heaters in the SFLC warehouse to overcome future competition barriers. The document is dated March 8, 2023 and was signed by customer Daniell E. Hurtado, EMCS, IBCTPL AM.

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.

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

CGC Cypress has multiple failed heaters

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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

Given the space and electrical requirement only Vlad Electric can provide required heaters.

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).

SF’s have spent 1 month trying to acquire quotes from vendors, but Valad is the sole source vendor

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

Valad provided Sole source letter stating they own all rights to these heaters and don’t have any distributors.

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.

Heaters are sole source and going with a different manufacture would require altering the ship.
