About this file
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition simplified acquisition procedures. It details the need to procure seven air conditioner units from a specific manufacturer, Flagship Marine, Inc., as the sole source provider. The air conditioners are a proprietary commercial item required for cooling equipment and ensuring crew comfort aboard a Coast Guard vessel. As the original equipment manufacturer, Flagship Marine possesses all necessary technical data, drawings, specifications, and information required to manufacture the air conditioners in accordance with Coast Guard performance, fit, and function requirements. Market research was unable to identify any other vendors capable of supplying the needed air conditioners without this proprietary product data from the OEM. The Coast Guard will continue seeking alternative suppliers through future market research efforts and hopes to obtain the required engineering drawings, parts lists, and testing procedures that would enable competitive procurement.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of Seven (7 EA) AIR CONDITIONER P/N 20032-002. Vessel: 47 MLB.
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 AIR CONDITIONER 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 AIR CONDITIONER is critical for providing cooling to the boat for all the equipment and crew comfort during seasonal high temperatures, especially during underway 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.
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 and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.
Flagship Marine, Inc. is the only acceptable BRAND that can provide the AIR CONDITIONER in accordance with statutory authority 10 USC 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Flagship Marine, Inc. is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the AIR CONDITIONER.
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.
