S1.4d JA Marine Door Purchase Redacted.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The USCG intends to procure marine doors from Bollinger Shipyards, LLC via its subsidiary Chand, LLC, for the 154' WPC Coast Guard Cutters. The contract is a five-year firm fixed-price contract with economic price adjustment, covering five 12-month ordering periods from Fiscal Year 2025-2029, with a sole source procurement justification.

The marine doors are critical for vessel operations, preventing sea water from entering through watertight bulkheads and serving emergency safety functions. The doors are commercial items manufactured exclusively by Bollinger Shipyards, with Chand, LLC as the distributor. The solicitation number is 70Z08024Q17003B00, and the procurement is based on the unique qualifications of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The USCG conducted market research and posted a Sources Sought Notice, but received only a response from the OEM subsidiary, reinforcing the sole source nature of the procurement. The contract aims to maintain the Coast Guard vessels' operational capabilities by ensuring proper marine door components and configuration.
