About this file

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition (J&A) for a federal contract opportunity. The Coast Guard Yard seeks to award a sole-source contract to the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) to conduct its annual audit to maintain AMPP QP-1 certification for the Yard's Paint Shop. Maintaining this certification is required for the Yard to meet quality standards for all vessel blasting and painting projects specified by Coast Guard customers. As the organization that established the required quality program, only AMPP is qualified to perform the associated annual audit to verify compliance and ensure the certification remains valid. The estimated value of the contract is over $3,000 but less than $150,000. The solicitation number for this opportunity is 70Z04024Q60503Y00.

PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISTION NUMBER: 2124404Y6164A59001
PROJECTTASK NUMBER: 64A59
ESTIMATED AMOUNT OVER 3000 BUT NOT EXCEEDING 150000:
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Annual AMPP QP-1 audit to maintain certification. Required quality program for the Paint Shop. We have to pass their audit inspections to keep our certification.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) is the organization the customer chose for their quality plan. They require all Coast Guard vessel blasting and preservations projects to be performed by contractors including the CG Yard paint shop to be AMPP QP-1 certified. This QP-1 certification is required for every specification package we provide cost estimates for. It is clearly stated in the Specs. to be AMPP QP-1 certified. The maintenance audit is required every year and cannot be performed by any other companies. We have to meet AMPP standards.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES: The quality plan that we must maintain is the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) quality plan. They audit the CG Yard once a year to make sure we are following the quality plan our customer requires. Using another vendor would void our QP-1 certification. For that reason we cannot use any other vendors to audit our Paint Shop preparations and paint requirements.
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: There is not a generic quality program that our customers will approve, only the AMPP QP-1 certification.
PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS IF ANY THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED: Ours customers won't approve of a generic quality program where more than one company can perform audit inspections.
