Justification for Sole Source Justification for Simplified Acquisition Threshold 1. Vessel: 154� WPC Fast Response Cutter 2. PR#_____________________________ 3. Description of Supplies or Services: a. The purchase of seventeen (17) Transmitter, Pressure, P/N: 247204, NSN 6685-01-653-9821, components of the 154� WPC Fast Response Cutters Fuel Oil Tank System.��(new part number MFG#PT-400 / 549018-4048 ""APG�) 4. Estimated Value of Procurement: 5. Source Available (OEM) Gem Sensor Incorporated 1 Cowles Rd Plainville, Connecticut 06062 Phone: (800) 378-1600 POC: Kim Karvoski 6. Pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if they determine that the circumstances of contract action deem only one source reasonably available: Check the appropriate reason below: XX Brand Name Mandatory 7. Impact Statement: The Pressure Transmitters used in 154� WPC Fast Response Cutters is a highly complex commercial off the shelf system comprised of many interrelated parts. This system was procured as a whole and was originally described as such by the Government; procurement was not based on Government specified descriptions of all of the various components contained within, and the Government has not bought those descriptions of those parts. Other than basic part/component descriptions (part numbers, etc.) provided by GEMs sensors Inc., the Government does not possess technical specifications, tolerances etc. to provide to the various facilities to allow for full and open. The Pressure Transmitters identified in this justification are used in the fuel tanks Pressure System and provides protection for the system not to over pressurize. The reliability of the fuel system, which is an important system on the 154� WPC platform, is critical to mission and safety; and failure could potentially result in flooding, fire and/or loss of life. The reliability of the Gem Sensors Inc. is known and acceptable; they have met Coast Guard mission requirements and safety standards through years of unrestricted use and thousands of operational hours. These vessels routinely operate in bad weather and heavy sea state conditions during the course of their multi-mission operations in support of Homeland Security in international and territorial waters. These missions include search and rescue, law enforcement, migrant interdiction, drug enforcement and human trafficking prevention. The Pressure Transmitters and subsequent parts are standard throughout the 154� WPC Fast Response Cutters. Any attempt to use non-GEMs Sensor Inc. Pressure Transmitters without proper specifications, drawings, and technical data could cause fire, flooding, equipment failure and subsequent failure to meet unit mission requirements. Any failure of substituted parts would jeopardize the safety of the vessel and crew possibly causing loss of life and property. 8. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by Full and Open Competition has not been developed or are not suitable. GEMs Sensor Inc is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and can guarantee compatibility and interchangeability of the Pressure Transmitters listed in this justification. All reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, and other technical data pertaining to the Fuel Tanks and associated parts were not purchased when the vessels were built by the Coast Guard and are not available for use by the Coast Guard now. The Coast Guard does not possess manufacturing data required to obtain full and open competition. Further, the scope of manufacturing, special tools and equipment required to manufacture the various parts are unknown. The technical data that is needed is proprietary. Without the adequate data, the Coast Guard is not capable of evaluating equal or alternate parts manufactured by other than the OEM. The use of OEM parts will insure components and processes are sufficient to enable physical and functional interchangeability, as well as identifying source, size, configuration and performance requirements. Vendors other than the OEM quoting on this requirement shall provide documentation showing the Pressure Transmitters they are offering is authentic GEMs Sensor Inc. as it pertains to usage on the 154� WPC Coast Guard vessels. 9. Provide a Statement of Actions, if any, the government may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before future acquisitions are required. The COR will continue to conduct market research with a focus on the locating vendors with the required specialized capabilities needed for this type of work, however without technical data described above obtaining full and open competition will be very difficult. The Coast Guard cannot require a vendor to release proprietary information.
