SINGLE SOURCE DETERMINATION USING SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP)

FOR AN ACTION NOT EXCEEDING THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (AUTHORITY: FAR 13.106- 1(b)(1))

140802-25-0717

1. Agency and contracting activity. Department of Commerce, NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, Acquisition, Analysis, and Accountability Branch

2. Description of supplies or services required to meet agency needs (including the estimated value).

OEM parts and qualified service for Ferdinand Hassler CAT marine engines; C32 MPDE & C9 SSDGs.

3. Identification of the single source or the brand name to be solicited.

CAT Authorized dealer and service provider

4. Supporting rationale. Only one source or brand name is reasonably available as detailed below:

Brand Name – This particular brand name is essential to the requirement and market research indicates similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. This brand name is a direct replacement of existing units. In order to assure quality and longevity OEM parts are utilized on the engines and OEM authorized service providers are utilized for installation efforts when Ship’s Force requires help. Procurements ending in non-OEM parts &/or properly trained service providers may result in additional costs to the Government IWO damaged machinery and downtime.

5. Market Research.

These units are available from multiple distributors

6. Technical/Requirements Representative Certification I certify that this requirement constitutes the Government’s minimum needs and the supporting data provided herein is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-
