SEQUOIA Attachment 6 (c) J and A Work Item 002 - Wartsila.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the U.S. Coast Guard. The document details a specific work item (Work Item 002) requiring technical representative services for Wartsila main inboard shaft seal and bulkhead seal equipment on the USCGC SEQUOIA.

The J&A identifies Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) as the sole source provider for these technical services, citing that they are the only known vendor with the necessary techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation. The required services include advising and assisting with manufacturer's proprietary information and ensuring compliance with procedures during equipment disassembly, inspection, repair, modification, calibration, and reassembly. The document specifically notes that DMS is the only supplier of the HT4265-01 Bulkhead seal, and the absence of OEM technical representatives could cause significant damage to the equipment if installed or programmed incorrectly.
