BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

Purchase of: Eight (08) Seal Kit, Bow Thruster NSN: 2010-01-555-9048, P/N: A125XT13001

OEM: Rolls-Royce Marine, Inc. CAGE: 07309

Used on WLB/WLM Bow Thrusters and WLB Stern Thrusters

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. This seal kit is designed and manufactured by Rolls-Royce to fit and function in bow and stern thrusters used on 175' WLM & 225' WLB class cutters.

They conform to, and mate with, other existing thruster components. The Coast Guard does not possess the detailed design and tech data needed to evaluate other products supplied by other vendors to ensure they are completely compatible with the parts being replaced.

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).

Conducted market research using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases through NESSS to identify vendors who would have the ability to provide this item and only one source was identified to have the technical.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

The Coast Guard did not purchase the manufacturer's proprietary data rights, and therefore, cannot determine with certainty that an alternative part number would mount to, interface with, or operate effectively with this cutter's engine control system. Failure of an alternative part, not conforming to the OEM's specifications, could cause significant damage or unsafe conditions.

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. Rolls-Royce Marine Inc., is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these parts. When the Coast Guard purchased the original equipment there were no requirements for manufacturer’s drawings, detailed parts list, design or testing procedures. OEM is the only known manufacturer that has the techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation necessary to manufacture these parts as used onboard Coast Guard Cutters.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Equipment Specialist will continue to conduct market research with a focus on locating vendors that are able to meet requirements.
