B. Brand Name: Item required must be a brand name product, or feature of a product, particular to one manufacturer. Discuss why you are precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company.

Describe how the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements and why a “brand name or equal” purchase description cannot be used (see FAR 11.104).

C. Unusual and Compelling Urgency: The supplies or services are of such unusual and compelling urgency that the Government would be seriously injured unless the agency is permitted to limit the number of sources from which it solicits. Urgent requirements are supplies or services that will result in work stoppage, or are mission critical and the routine processing time would injure the Government. The determination that the procurement for the above is an urgent and compelling requirement is based on the following:

1. Date on which the requirement was identified:

2. Period of Performance:

If the difference between a. and b. is more than one week, explain the delay in submitting the requirement.

3. Estimated production lead time: N/A

This repair and maintenance is needed to allow the ship to continue to be supportive of tenant commands and continue to operate safely.

CTF-53 strongly urges all ships (particularly PM1/PM8 ships) to maintain full functionality of ships power system. This system is vital in its support of CTF53 associated missions.

Rolls-Royce Solutions America, Inc. is the only capable OEM technical services that are fully compatible of providing this service and repairs with the existing Ships Diesel Main Engines infrastructure for the USS BRUNSWICK and the other 6 FGRR ships. The shipboard diesel main engines to be placed in OPERATIONAL condition will form part of an integrated enterprise, which already contains similar components. Introducing alternate, untested products is not authorized and poses an unacceptable risk to the success of the missions to be performed and would impose additional costs to the enterprise as a whole in terms of sustainment support. Obtaining Rolls-Royce Solutions America, Inc.’s expertise for MPDE repairs and maintenance will repair important equipment that and will ensure that General Technical Requirements (GTR) can maintain compliance with JHSV.
