JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

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

US Coast Guard TRACEN Yorktown, VA requests class replacement and repair parts for our National Security Cutter (NSC) and Fast Response Cutter (FRC) Motor Turbine Union (MTU) Course. The course is designed to prepare Coast Guard personnel in the operation, maintenance, and repair of both the MTU 20V1163 and MTU 20V4000M93L diesel engine and associated MTU automation control system. Without replacement parts for class convening's, we cannot teach many of our Terminal Performance Objectives that the students are required to complete during the course.

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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

U.S. Coast Guard Training Center Yorktown Procurement Office is purchasing MTU engine parts through Rolls- Royce Solutions America Inc., the authorized distributor for MTU engines, under a JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION, pursuant to FAR Subpart 6.3, whereby “Only one Responsible Source and No Other Supplies of Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements” in accordance with FAR Subpart 6.302-1.

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).

Research was conducted, however the MTU engine parts that are currently in use could not be replicated by any other vendors. Our training engine is an exact replica to mirror the FRC and NSC fleet. This will relieve any ambiguity for training and mission execution on all NSC and FRC operational units.

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

Parts are developed, built, and distributed by the Rolls-Royce Solutions in Germany. In addition, Rolls-Royce closely guards its proprietary information regarding not only the replacement parts and technology, but also the certification of its technician. Therefore, there are no other companies worldwide that are authorized by MTU to develop, manufacture, or provide mechanical or electrical replacement parts for their propulsion systems. This includes the distribution and sale of these components.

March 8, 2023 Version

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.

The requested engine parts are proprietary to Rolls-Royce Solutions.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

The government doesn't anticipate to change systems. Changing systems would reduce the abilities to train students, and require additional training and update to course curriculum. Additionally adding a different system would cost the government to incur additional time and costs to operate and maintain
