Procurement of original equipment manufacturer ( OEM) Daimler Truck of North America ( DTNA) parts for USCG 45 response boat medium ( RBM) boats.
AI helper
Justification for other than full and open competition for procurement of OEM DTNA parts for USCG 45 RBM boats. The agency determined that DTNA is the only responsible source due to proprietary technical data and compatibility requirements. Sources sought notices were issued, and only one US-based authorized distributor responded. The anticipated cost is fair and reasonable based on comparison with independent government estimates and adequate price competition among distributors. Market research confirmed DTNA as the sole source with the required technical data. The use of non-OEM parts would void the engine warranty and could cause safety issues. A multi-award IDIQ contract will improve purchasing and logistics efficiencies and guarantee compatibility and reliability.
The bid notice states using nonoem components and equipment on these engines would void the engine warranty and could potentially put the crew in harm's way of injury or death and jeopardize the mission.
