This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b). It outlines the rationale for sole-source procurement of services related to a specific piece of equipment.

• Authority: FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)
• Justification Type: Only One Source Reasonably Available.
• Brand Name: Items peculiar to one manufacturer.
• Supplies/Services: On-site services of a certified Welin-Lambie Tech Rep to commission an overhauled davit (Work Item 19, Welin Lambie Dual Point Davit TWPIV 5.0B), including inspection, testing, and overhaul.
• Suggested Source: Welin Lambie Limited, Britannia House Old Bush Street Brierley Hill, United Kingdom DY5 1UB (UEI: LUJ4XW1M36D5).
• Rationale: The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the only known source for the required technical representative services to ensure compliance. The absence of an OEM representative could cause significant damage to the equipment due to reassembly issues or calibration problems. Manufacturing drawings and specifications are proprietary to the OEM.
• Price Determination Methods: Market research methods are listed, including comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items, comparison to IGCE, and contracting officer's personal knowledge.

This document indicates a sole-source procurement for specialized technical services for a Welin Lambie davit. Bidders who are not Welin Lambie Limited or cannot provide equivalent certified services may not be eligible to compete for this specific requirement. It highlights the critical nature of OEM expertise for this particular equipment.

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b), specifically for a "Brand Name" justification. It outlines the rationale for procuring services from a single source.

• Authority: FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)
• Justification Type: Only one source reasonably available.
• Brand Name Rationale: The specific brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements, and alternatives do not meet the agency's needs.
• Supplies/Services: Services of a Qualified Technical Representative for work item 20 (Buoy Crane, Appleton EB600-60-40, Inspect and Service). The representative must be familiar with the Appleton EB600-60-40 equipment/system to advise on proprietary system information and ensure compliance with manufacturer's procedures and standards during system disassembly, inspection, and reassembly.
• Suggested Source: Appleton Marine, 3030 E Perishing St. Appleton, WI, USA, 54911-8671 (UEI: HWLGUR28KMS6).
• Rationale: The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the only known source to ensure compliance and possesses the necessary techniques, design specifications, testing, quality assurance capability, and documentation. The absence of an OEM technical representative could cause significant damage to the equipment if reassembly is out of calibration. Manufacturing drawings and specifications are proprietary to the OEM and have not been purchased by the Coast Guard.

This document explains why the Coast Guard is justifying a sole-source procurement for specialized technical representative services related to the Appleton EB600-60-40 Buoy Crane. Bidders interested in this type of specialized service or who might offer similar services should note the specific requirements and the justification for using Appleton Marine.
