About this file
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition on a federal contract opportunity with the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard. The contract is for vibration damper and cable gland parts required by the Coast Guard Yard to complete overhauls of 4000 series MTU engines installed on 154-foot Fast Response Cutters. The estimated value is $45,866.52. Only original equipment manufacturer MTU-licensed distributors can provide the certified parts, to ensure compatibility with the engineered engines and avoid potential failures. While several distributors are capable of supplying the parts, the contractor must be able to deliver all required MTU-certified parts within two weeks to avoid delays in completing the overhauls on schedule as required by fleet operations.

| BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE: Vibration Damper and Cable Gland parts required for YARD to overhauls of 4000 series MTU engines installed onboard 154' Fast Response Cutters. | |
| UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: If parts are not arrived on-time, the CG Yard will not be able to complete QL4 overhauls on-time as required by fleet operations. | |
| 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 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 of parts, the overhauls cannot be completed appropriately; therefore, portions of this requirement cannot be segregated to foster additional competition. Parts must arrive within two (2) weeks. | |
