About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a specialized water heater replacement for the U.S. Coast Guard vessel Seneca. The document justifies a sole source procurement under two authorities: 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for being the only responsible source, and 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(2) for unusual and compelling urgency. The specific water heater is a fleetwide configuration replacement that is no longer available, with Seneca being the only vessel configured to use this unique hot water heater. The procurement requires an exact manufacturer replacement with specific model number and interface connections, which cannot be replicated by other sources due to proprietary design and lack of technical drawings. The purchase request number is 2125405Y6173J88007, associated with the CGC 270' Legare project, and the estimated amount is within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

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.
See Statement of Objective
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER
SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.
Fleetwide configuration replacement water heater is no longer available. Seneca is the only vessel to have this specific hot water heater installed. This heater requested is an exact manufacturer replacement water heater (model number specific) with exact interface connections and is the only model to offer a direct connection without piping or cutter specific configuration modifications.
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).
These types of hot water heaters are built by OEM upon request. Equipment is proprietary to the original manufacturer and no technical drawings are available to replicate by another source.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

This is a one of kind hot water heating vessel and only one CG vessel is configured to use it.
