USCG SFLC CPD-3. JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION. In accordance with statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of one hundred (100) each PARTS, KIT VALVE, P/N 209374, NSN 4820-98-208-2398 and one hundred (40) each VALVE ASSEMBLY, P/N 111554, NSN 4810-98-208- 2398. Vessel: CB-OTH-IV.

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 PARTS, KIT VALVE and VALVE ASSEMBLIES 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 PARTS, KIT VALVE and VALVE ASSEMBLIES are used on the MARINE JET DRIVE incorporated to propel the CB-OTH-IV, which supports multiple SAR & LE missions. The MARINE JET DRIVE provides the forward and reverse thrust and permits proper handling and steering of the boat. A failure to this system would result in a loss of underway or docking maneuverability, causing a severe degradation to the mission and safety of the crew. The PARTS, KIT VALVE and VALVE ASSEMBLIES presently installed on this platform are HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET brand. Therefore, all replacement parts offered shall be only “official brand” Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper OEM parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to major mission degradation.

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). Researched the Internet for vendors available to provide MARINE JET DRIVE parts. Vendors are available on the Internet that provide marine jet parts, however, the parts for these particular marine jet must conform to the installed jets on this platform. The Coast Guard the does not have the means to evaluate the fit, form and function of these parts without extensive testing.

Contacted OEM distributor to ascertain part numbers were current and available.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET is the suggested source that can provide the PARTS, KIT VALVE and VALVE ASSEMBLIES. Any offer of parts shall be “official brand OEM” parts. HAMILTON C W F & CO LTD HAMILTON JE HAMILTON JET is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the PARTS, KIT VALVE and VALVE ASSEMBLIES.

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. 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.
