BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE; The

Purchase of One Hundred (100) CHARGER, BATTERY, P/N: PMP245021010 NSN: 6130-01-644-6473 Vessel:

45 FT RBM.

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 BATTERY CHARGER required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment that could meet the Coast Guard’s performance, fit and function requirements for this procurement is inadequate to allow for evaluation of another O.E.M.’s part. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper O.E.M. parts and without access to O.E.M. reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could cause the Coast Guard to receive a part that is not interchangeable with the existing one. This BATTERY CHARGER provides power to the batteries to keep them charged. Failure of this part would not allow the boat to start and perform mission.

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, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

HOUGH MARINE AND MACHINE INC

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. J GORDON and COMPANY INC is the O.E.M. of these and the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture these BATTERY

CHARGER. MOBILE ELECTRIC POWER SOLUTIONS (MEPS) is an authorized distributor/repair facility.

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 J GORDON and COMPANY INC.

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.
