Surface Force Logistics Center (SFLC), Small Boat Product Line (SBPL), located at 2401 Hawkins Point Rd, Baltimore, MD

21226. Under Statutory Authority 10 U.S.C. 2304(c) (1) and 41 U.S.C. 1901, per FAR 13.501(a) Sole Source (including brand name) acquisition.

5175. Vessel: 29RB-S GEN II TRAILER

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

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED: The technical data for the 29RB-S Trailer, is required to make an accurate assessment of equal or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard’s performance, fit, form and function requirements for this procurement is unavailable. The WHEEL PNEUMATIC TIRE is critical for the safe operation and maintenance of the

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) trailers presently in service in support of the 29RB-S boats. The trailers have proven to be adequate in this capacity of support, with minimum problems. Any attempt to manufacture this item without the proper Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts and access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, spec, tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information, could lead to hazardous conditions while transporting the 29RB-S. These specific tires are mounted on a specified rim for the specific trailer used in transporting the 29RB-S. The tires are also pre-installed on the rim, which units do not have the capabilities of doing. Any other tire or rim used other than the specified one supplied by the trailer manufacture will void any trailer warranties and may place the crew and other people traveling on the road in danger while transporting the 29RB-S.

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). Conducted market research using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and reviewed previous purchases to identify venders who would have the ability to provide the required materials.

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

EVOLUTION TRAILER TECHNOLOGIES is the only brand that will be acceptable for the PNEUMATIC TIRE WHEEL

ASSEMBLIES. EVOLUTION TRAILER TECHNOLOGIES is the sole possessor of the drawings and other technical information required to properly manufacture the PNEUMATIC TIRE WHEEL ASSEMBLIES

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. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed contractor. The reproduction of manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item were never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the

OEM.

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

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
