Contracting Agency: 60th Contracting Squadron, Travis AFB CA 3. Purchase Request #: 4. Description of Requirement: Purchase five engine control panels along with communications control modules, and alarm/annunciator modules for installation on Caterpillar Model 3512, 750-kilowatt diesel generator sets. The required panels are Caterpillar Electronic Modular Control Package II+ (EMCP II+; P/N: 151-5551); Caterpillar Communications Control Module (CCM; P/N: 164-8940); and Alarm/Annunciator module (P/N: 131-1961). Estimated cost is $54,000. 5. Statutory Authority permitting other than full and open competition: Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, as implemented by: For Open Market Items: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy the agency requirement. 6. Justification or authority for action: (a.) The Caterpillar Electronic Modular Control Package II+ (EMCP II+) along with the Communications Control and Alarm/Annunciator Modules are specifically designed to provide a wide range of localized and remote control functions for Caterpillar generators. The EMCP-II+ incorporates every required control, monitoring and safety function necessary for the Caterpillar generators into one package. The EMCP II+ is a direct replacement item for the obsolete analog engine panels that are currently on these generators. They require no modifications to install and are designed to be plug and play components for the engine/generator and associated ancillary mechanical equipment and electrical switchgear. The EMCP II+ also includes a micro-processor designed to interface with the Caterpillar POWERLYNX software and is the only control package designed to do so. (b.) Caterpillar is the only known source that can satisfy the government?s requirement. There is no other product on the market designed specifically for this equipment. It is imperative that the control package is fully compatible with the engine/generator, ancillary equipment and associated electrical switchgear and control software. (c.) Purchase of any other control package would require significant additional design and engineering expense to develop and adapt to the application. In addition there would be costly and unacceptable project delays. 7. Market Research/ Other Facts: Additional Market research was not conducted. Our technical experts are continually involved in the acquisition and installation of these products and are well aware of what is available. Like Caterpillar, all other manufacturers have similar control packages designed specifically for their engine/generator sets and they are not interchangeable with others. 8. Brand name manufacturer: Caterpillar Inc. 100 NE Adams Street Peoria, IL 61629-0002 9. Steps to improve competition: No efforts are being made at this time because this is a one-time acquisition. If there are similar future requirements, additional market research will be conducted.
