    SOLICITATION ATTACHMENT- SAP JOTFOC Annual QP-1.pdf
    The U.S. Coast Guard requires an annual AMPP QP-1 audit to maintain its Paint Shop's certification, which is essential for meeting customer quality requirements. This justification for other than full and open competition cites FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), indicating only one source is reasonably available. The Association for Materials Protection and Performance, Inc. (AMPP) is the sole authority for issuing and renewing this specific quality plan certification. Using any other vendor would invalidate the existing QP-1 certification, making AMPP the only responsible source capable of fulfilling this regulatory requirement. The estimated value for this service is $6,000. The price determination is based on AMPP being the only responsible source for this specialized certification.
    SOLICITATION ATTACHMENT- SOW.doc
    The Coast Guard Yard requires AMPP QP-1 Certification to ensure quality standards for blasting and painting vessels, including work performed by contractors. Without this certification, the Coast Guard Yard cannot estimate or perform preservation work. The Statement of Work outlines the need for an AMPP auditor to conduct on-site audits of blasting and coating processes, verify documentation, and ensure compliance with customer specifications, including SFLC Standard Spec. 6310. The auditor must also confirm the completeness of the annual QP-1 application. The Coast Guard Yard will provide the application for audit and renewal, and the vendor must be paid by December 15th to maintain the current certificate. Any additional charges beyond the SOW scope must be submitted in writing and authorized by the Contracting Officer.
