JOTFOC Evans Red Gears Redacted.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The contracting officer is justifying a single-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1, based on the determination that only one source is available. The purchase request number is 52000PR260026503. The requirement is for ZF Marine to provide servicing and inspection of exterior and internals from the USCG-specification ZF 23560C reduction gears, followed by through-testing of port and starboard Marine Reduction Gears (MRGs). ZF Marine Propulsion Systems Miramar, LLC., located at 15351 SW 29th St., Suite 300, Miramar, FL 33027, is identified as the sole source vendor. The justification rationale indicates that there are no authorized ZF service dealers in North America with the training or tooling to overhaul the ZF 23560C reduction gears; only the OEM subsidiary, ZF Marine Propulsion Systems Miramar, LLC., possesses the capability to perform these overhauls. The contracting officer used "Unusual and Compelling Need" per FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) as the fair and reasonable price determination method. The document was signed by the Technical and Requirements POC on 07/07/2026 and by Contracting Officer Balint Karla Paola on 07/09/2026.
