Identification of Agency and Contracting Activity: The requiring activity is the Commander Navy Region Mid-Lant. The contracting activity is the Fleet and Industrial Supply Center Norfolk. 2. Description of the Action Being Approved. Award of a contract on a brand name basis for 44 Honda boat engines in support of Commander Navy Region Mid-Lant Port Operations. 3. Description of Supplies/Services. Port Operations requires delivery of 22 standard rotation and 22 counter rotation 4-stroke 25 remote controlled, power trim and tile, electric start boat engines. The 44 boat engines will be delivered to five locations as provided in the solicitation document. The estimated value of this procurement is $408, 056.00, which includes a unit price of $9,274.00 each. The funding provided is FY07 Operation and Maintenance Navy funds. 4. Statutory Authority Permitting SOLE SOURCE. Section 4202 of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 - a sole source acquisition under the authority of the test program for certain commercial items, as implemented by FAR 13.501(a). 5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority. The basis of the sole source acquisition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) or 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) where only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements (see FAR 6.302-1). Naval Station Norfolk currently has 19 Harbor Security Boats which use Honda Engine Model 130. After inspection of the boat engines, it was determined repairs were needed. Honda Marine advised Port Operations that Model 130 was obsolete and repair parts are no longer available. In addition, Honda Marine stated Model 150 directly replaces Model 130. Port Operations is unable to guarantee other engines/parts will interface properly with existing boats. The Honda 150 engine replacements are free of any modification/adjustments for the boat engines to fit the boats and continue adequate performance. If any other engine is purchase, modifications will be required in order for engines to fit and meet required performance standards and functionality. Proper functioning of the boats is critical to the command?s mission. Additionally, purchasing any other brand will require additional cost of purchasing equipment/tools to perform modifications as well as cost incurred in training Port Operations Repair Technicians to perform modifications. 6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable. Market research has resulted in a determination that no other boat engine will meet the customers requirements. The solicitation for Honda Engine Model 150 will be posted on NECO and FEDBIZOPS as an unrestricted procurement. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost. The Contracting Officer will determine the cost to the Government of the supplies/services covered by this J&A to be fair and reasonable prior to award. 8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition. For the reasons set forth in Paragraph 5, Port Operations is unable to identify actions that may remove barriers to future competition. If another potential source emerges, FISC Norfolk with the assistance of Port Operations will assess whether competition for future requirements is feasible. 9.
