    Title

    The document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of 25 BUSHING, CLAMP, SHAFT (P/N ETP-ER-35, NSN 5365-01-650-5254) for the 45 RBM vessel fleet. The justification is based on the determination that only one responsible source, ZERO MAX INC. and its authorized distributors, can supply the required items. This is due to the unavailability of technical data and manufacturing drawings from the U.S. Coast Guard, making the item proprietary to the OEM. The bushings are critical for the generator of the electric power supply system on the 45 RBM fleet, essential for search and rescue and drug interdiction operations. Attempts to manufacture without OEM parts and data could lead to major mission degradation. Market research efforts included contacting the OEM, authorized distributors, commercial distributors, and extensive internet searches. Future actions to overcome barriers to competition include continued market research for vendors capable of providing the necessary engineering and manufacturing data.
