About this file
This document is a justification for other than full and open competition under simplified acquisition procedures. The US Coast Guard requires technical representative services from Lifestream Watersystem to perform reverse osmosis system grooming on a Lifestream Watersystem Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Model-SW6994463CNG. Only Lifestream Watersystem certified technicians can perform the work as it involves proprietary manufacturer information, software, tools, and compliance with manufacturer procedures and standards. Due to the custom engineering used in manufacturing the vessel's unique components, only Lifestream Watersystem is the sole proprietor of the data rights and can certify technicians for this work. No actions can be taken to introduce competition for future acquisitions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The USCG requires the use of OEM’s for tech rep services to accomplish the following requirements: WI 7 for Reverse Osmosis, System Groom. OEM tech rep is required for the Lifestream Watersystem Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Model-SW6994463CNG to accomplish the following on site:
• Provide manufacturer's proprietary information, software, and tools pertinent to the equipment/system.
• Assist with and ensure compliance with the manufacturer’s procedures and standards during the disassembly, inspection, repair, modification, calibration and reassembly of the equipment/system.
• Tech Rep must be present in all aspects of this work item.
UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. Per the Specs, specifically for WI 7, it states that the contractor must provide the services of a certified Tech Rep to accomplish all the tasks supporting the Lifestream Watersystem Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier Model-SW6994463CNG.
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).
Once it was determined that the proprietary tech data are not readily available, it was clear that only a Lifestream Watersystem certified tech can perform the services.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.
Much of the production is made up of custom engineering systems to meet the Coast Guard’s specifications. Therefore, Lifestream Watersystem is the sole proprietor of the data rights for these components. Only those Technical Representatives which have been certified by Lifestream Watersystem can execute the work.
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. Due to the manufacturing of the vessel, it has unique components such as these that require an OEM certified tech rep to perform the work.
PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR
OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.
None.
