About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for the U.S. Coast Guard Surface Forces Logistics Center. The procurement involves purchasing specific drive shaft and coupling parts for the 45' Response Boat-Medium (RB-M) from Rexnord Industries, LLC as the sole source vendor. The required items include 20 drive shafts (NSN 3040-01-590-3180), 15 flexible couplings (NSN 3010-01-617-4973), and 25 hardware sets (NSN 5305-01-618-6197), with a total estimated value under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, noting that Rexnord is the only source capable of providing these critical electrical system components. The document emphasizes that the technical data and manufacturing specifications are proprietary, making alternative vendors unable to reproduce the parts without potential mission-critical risks. The Coast Guard will continue to conduct market research to potentially identify alternative sources for future acquisitions, but for this procurement, Rexnord remains the sole authorized supplier of these specialized parts.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The purchase of twenty (20) each, COUPLING, SHAFT, RIGID, PROPULSION P/N: CF-A-025-G-3-2-50, (10719415), NSN: 3040-01-590-3180, twenty-five (25) each SCREW, HARDWARE, P/N CF-A-025-O (10722447), NSN 5305- 01-618-6197and fifteen (15) each, FLEXIBLE COUPLING (ELEMENT ONLY), P/N: CF-A-025-O-50, (10721798) NSN: 3010-01-617-4973. Vessel: 45’ RBM. The parts are in support of the Electrical system installed on the 45’ RBM. The parts are provided by REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

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 DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING, 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 DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING are critical components of the ELECTRICAL system.

The ELECTRICAL system is critical for providing electrical power to the 45’ RBM for all power requirements, especially during underway operations. Failure of the ELECTRICAL system would result in placing the vessel in a hazardous situation with the loss of electrical power, causing a severe degradation to the mission and safety of the crew. 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. REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC, has provided the part numbers in support of the 45’ RBM. Therefore, all replacement parts offered shall be only “official brand” (OEM) parts.

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 the DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING. REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC. is the suggested source that can provide the DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING installed. Searched for other vendors capable of supplying the DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING. While other vendors produce DRIVE, SHAFTs, and FLEXIBLE COUPLINGs, to deviate from the installed brand may require fabrication upon installation.

REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC, does have known distributors.

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

REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC, is the suggested source that can provide the DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING to support the installed equipment. REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC. is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the DRIVE, SHAFT and FLEXIBLE COUPLING. Another vendor’s parts may not contain the same fit, form and function. The installation of REXNORD INDUSTRIES, LLC. parts will ensure the continuity and configuration of the DRIVE, SHAFTs and FLEXIBLE COUPLINGs installed at Coast Guard units. The Coast Guard does not have any technical information to deviate from the parts installed; another vendor’s offer may lead to fabrication being necessary for installation.

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.
