BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of VARIOUS PARTS (See Enclosure 1), in support of Honda Engines installed on Coast Guard platforms. Vessel: MULTI.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. The technical data for the HONDA ENGINE parts required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The HONDA ENGINE parts are utilized for the maintenance and upkeep of the HONDA ENGINEs installed on multiple platforms. The engines are critical for the safe operation of the vessel during underway and maneuvering operations. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation. HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. is the brand installed on these platforms. Any offer of parts shall be “official brand” (OEM); therefore, all offers shall conform to this brand.

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 to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., has several known distributors.

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

HONDA MOTOR CO. INC. is the suggested source that can provide the HONDA ENGINE parts, “official” OEM, brand, to support the installed equipment. All offers must be the HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand. Another vendor’s engine parts may not contain the same fit, form and function as the HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand, and could lead to fabrication being necessary for installation. The installation of HONDA MOTOR CO. INC., brand will ensure the continuity and configuration of the HONDA ENGINE parts presently installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from this brand, another vendor’s offer may not have the same fit, form or function as the installed brand.

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 is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the OEM.

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 in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
