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: _X_ Brand Name Mandatory 7. Impact Statement: The item listed above must conform to design, materials, and operational requirements. The listed item is the standard configuration currently installed and in use on the Steering System installed on the 154 FRC Coastal Patrol Boats. Any attempt to manufacture the listed item without the proper specifications, drawings, and technical data could cause equipment failure, loss of Steering and subsequent damage to the Patrol Boat and personnel. The Actuating Cylinder is used on the Steering System. This cylinder is hydraulically operated which allows for the smooth operation of the rudders. Without properly functioning cylinders the possibility exists for one or both rudders to become inoperative. This can place the cutter and crew in harm's way during critical boat operations. Without the cylinders, the crew can be placed into a dangerous situation which can cause serious damage to the cutter and possible injury to the crew. Any failure of substituted parts would jeopardize the safety of the vessel and crew. 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. Jastram Engineering LDT is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the listed item used on the 154 FRC Coast Guard vessels. The reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data have not been purchased and is proprietary. The material, manufacturing processes and technical data of the listed items are proprietary to the OEM and not for sale as was requested by the Coast Guard. RG-Group & Sterling Marine Systems are both authorized U.S. distributers of the Actuating Cylinder and can guarantee interchangeability, compatibility, function and size requirements of the listed item. Vendors other than OEM shall provide documentation certifying the listed items meet OEM specifications and standards and they pertain to the 154 FRC Coastal Patrol 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. COR will continue to conduct market research to locate other possible vendors who can supply the item listed above.
