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

MTU Parts are required to the overhaul of 154' FRC McCormick Engine for PBPL.

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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

SFLC customer requires OEM vendors only.

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).

Yard's Engine shop reached out to three (3) OEM vendors for market research, which are W.W.Williams, Pacific Power Group, and Johnson Towers.

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

A host of companies provide engine assemblies and parts, but MTU parts are proprietary and only MTU licensed distributors can provide MTU certified parts. The rationale for limiting competition revolves the risks involved with utilizing in-kind or equivalent parts in MTU MDEs. These engines are engineered with narrow tolerances, and deviation from MTU certified parts could result in catastrophic failures, endangering USCG personnel and assets and limiting mission effectiveness. Until a manufacturing standard is released by MTU, this requirement will always be limited to brand name justification. Market Research has identified several vendors that are capable of providing parts certified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (MTU). Vendors must be licensed MTU dealers capable of providing the parts in the quantities/ manner specified herein;

vendors may include: Rolls-Royce solutions, Pacific Power Group, WW Williams, and Johnson & Towers; however, this contract must not be awarded to vendors who are not able to provide all MTU certified parts as required under this contract.

Also, the overhaul is complex and require significant coordination to accomplish in the volume required to support USCG fleet operation. Without timely delivery of parts, the overhauls cannot be completed appropriately; therefore, portions of this requirement cannot be•egregated to foster additional competition. Parts must arrive within two ( ) weeks.

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.

Only MTU licensed distributors can provide MTU certified parts.
