Sole Source Control # N10X-13-X-XXXX

Revision dated 6/4/2013

Date: 02/20/2018

MEMORANDUM FOR SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITIONS (<$150K)

From: George “Rusty” Richardson, Principle Port Engineer USNS TIPPECANOE

To: Contracting Officer, Military Sealift Command

Subj: USE OF OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION (SOLE OR LIMITED SOURCE)

Ref: (a) USNS TIPPECANOE Procurement Request No(s). N2162273324007

(b) Federal Acquisition Regulation 13.106-1

The supplies or services required under this requisition are available from only one or a limited number of responsible sources, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy the Government's need. There is a reasonable basis to conclude that the Government's minimum needs can only be satisfied by unique supplies or services available only from one or a limited number of suppliers with unique capabilities. The following justification applies.

An acquisition that uses a brand name (Furuno, Motorola, Vidmar) or other description to specify a particular brand name, product or feature of a product peculiar to one manufacturer does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. Beyond that, if you choose to limit the number of sources of a particular brand name/OEM, the procurement is “sole/limited source,” which is more difficult to justify. However, if the specification is brand name or equal, then the procurement is competitive.

Describe the item and/or services required:

Procurement GEA Westfalia Lube Oil Purifier (LOP) & Oily Water Separator (OWS) repair parts for the USNS

TIPPECANOE (T-AO 199).

Known Source(s) for the item or services: List the source(s) (offeror(s)/vendor(s)) who are known to be able to provide the above described item and/or services.

GEA WESTFALIA

SEPARATOR SPARES & EQUIPMENT

B&H INTERNATIONAL LLC.

Check which of the following applies:

“ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE SOURCE" (example: OEM technical representative)

"LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized technical representatives)

"BRAND NAME SOLE SOURCE" (example: OEM replacement part)

X "BRAND NAME LIMITED SOURCE" (example: multiple OEM authorized part distributors)

1. This determination for single/limited source procurement for this requirement is based on one or more of the following. Select all that apply:

A.____ RESTRICTIVE RIGHTS. The existence of proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes make the required item or service available from only one source.

Explain what is subject to restrictive rights such as proprietary rights, limited rights in data, patent rights, copyrights or secret processes:

As shown on the drawings, who is identified as "owning" the drawing:

Explain why the restrictive rights make the required item or service available from only one source, i.e., why another company still couldn’t satisfy the Government’s need:

B. _____ EXCLUSIVE LICENSING AGREEMENTS. Due to exclusive licensing agreements and arrangements, the required repair/spare parts and/or technical representative services are only available from the

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or ONLY ONE authorized distributor or technical representative.

Identify the OEM (i.e., Motorola; Schat Harding) ____________________________

Attach evidence of the exclusive licensing agreement.

C.__X__ CRITICAL SHIP EQUIPMENT. The required item is critical ship equipment the failure of which poses a hazard to the ship, the crew and/or the environment.

Provide the SMS procedure number: SMS Procedure 10.6-002-AO/ALL

Describe how it applies to the critical piece of equipment: T-AO Critical Equipment List identifies the LOP and the OWS as L-3, which is the 2 nd highest designation.

The oily water separator is a critical piece of equipment as it separates water from oil and pumps effluent water overboard and holds oily waste onboard. This equipment must be optimally operating, there is a risk of discharging oil overboard.

The LOP is too a critical piece of equipment as its sole purpose is to separate contaminates from the oil for the Ship Service Diesel Generator(SSDG), Main Engine and Main Reduction Gear. If the LOP is not operational, the contaminates will build up in the Main Engine, SSDG and Main

Reduction Gear which may lead to irreversible damage.

D. __X__ STANDARDIZATION. In accordance with MSC’s standardization initiative, only the specified make and model of equipment/parts will satisfy the Government's needs for additional units or replacement items, and only one source is available. (i.e., ship currently has 10 Motorola radios onboard and five more need to be purchased to bring onboard allowances up to 15). Provide the following information:

Identify Make and Model Number : GEA Westfalia Oily Water Separator (BilgeMaster-D 2000), GEA Westfalia Lube Oil Purifier (OSE 20-91-067/20).

Identify other ships that have this same Make and Model Number: Fourteen (14) each T-AO’s are equipped with one (1) each GEA Westfalia Model Bilge Master D 2000 OWS unit, for a total of four (14) each Kaiser Class Fleet wide.

Fifteen (15) each T-AO’s are equipped with three (3) each GEA Westfelia Model OSE 20-91-

067/20 LOP, for a total of forty-five (45) each Kaiser Class Fleet Wide.

E. __X__ FORM, FIT AND FUNCTION. The required items are direct replacement parts/components for existing equipment and must be compatible in terms of form, fit and function with existing equipment/configurations. Provide the following information:

Identify Make and Model Number of existing onboard equipment: GEA Westfalia Oily Water

Separator (BilgeMaster-D 2000), GEA Westfalia Lube Oil Purifier (OSE 20-91-067/20).

Describe how new equipment must be compatible with existing ship's configurations (i.e., piping, cabling, etc): The replacement LOP and OWS repair parts being procured are direct replacement repair parts that match the existing piece of equipment’s configuration footprint in dimension, size and measurement exactly. These replacements parts will not require modification to the components being procured or the existing piece of equipment.

F. ______ UNIQUE FEATURES. Similar products lack features that are necessary to meet the Government's minimum needs (i.e., Furuno radar vs. Raytheon radar). Provide the following information:

Identify the required features that are lacking from the competitor's product:

G. __X__ OTHER REASONS. Other reasons not identified above (i.e., statutory requirement such as harbor pilot services):

MSC does not have the technical information required to evaluate and determine whether components or replacement parts defined are equivalent to OEM components and replacement parts. Any attempt to use other non-OEM material could potentially compromise the suitability of current equipment.
