About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the purchase of 10 Darley P100 Fire Pump units.

The key details are:

  • The P100 is a critical piece of equipment required to sustain the Coast Guard's surface fleet operational readiness. It is a proprietary item made specifically for the Coast Guard by W.S. Darley Co. and cannot be substituted.
  • The estimated value of the purchase is $122,850. The solicitation will be issued under NAICS code 333996 with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees.
  • The contract will be awarded using simplified acquisition procedures under FAR 13.5. Delivery is required by 10/30/2024.
  • This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a commercial item. The government believes W.S. Darley Co. and its authorized distributors are the only sources able to meet the requirement, but other interested parties may submit information demonstrating their capability within 3 calendar days.

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

The purchase of (10) P100 Fire Pump for use in sustainment of the surface fleets operational readiness.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The P100 is a portable completely self-contained diesel powered pump with dual purpose use as either a source of firefighting water or a dewatering pump. It has been placed on the Mission Critical Equipment list for cutter's Safe to Sail Criteria. It is extremely critical to the safety of the vessel and the personnel aboard for the pump to perform without failure.

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Equipment must be procured from Original Equipment Manufacture due to specifications agreed upon for safe to sail outfit. This pump is made specifically for the U.S. Coast Guard by W.S. Darley Co.

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

The P100 pump is a fleet wide configuration item from the Darley P/N: 2BE10YDN

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.

Items are proprietary to this manufacturer, W. S. Darley Co.
