TRANSMITTER, PROPELLER ORDER

The document is a Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition for the overhaul of two Transmitter Propellers (P/N: RA13T) for the 210 WMEC Class Cutters, with an estimated procurement value of $5,700.00. Dynalec Corp. is identified as the sole source due to proprietary data rights not purchased by the Coast Guard, making it impossible to determine if alternative parts would function effectively. Deviations from the OEM specifications could lead to significant costs, re-engineering, and safety risks to personnel and equipment. The Coast Guard did not acquire manufacturing drawings, detailed parts lists, or design/testing procedures for the original equipment. Dynalec Corp. is the only known manufacturer with the necessary techniques, design specifications, testing, and quality assurance capabilities. Market research will continue, but obtaining full and open competition is challenging without the required technical data, which vendors are not obligated to release.

This government file outlines the overhaul requirements for TRANSMITTER, PROPELLER ORDER, Stock Number 6320-01-578-6006, Part Number RA13T, used on WMEC 210 Class Propeller Pitch Indicator Systems. The contractor must inspect and repair each transmitter to restore OEM operating and performance characteristics using genuine DYNALEC parts. A preliminary inspection report and a condition report with a cost proposal are due within 30 days of receipt. Final delivery of overhauled units is 90 days from authorization to proceed. Overhauled transmitters require operational testing, certification, a 720-day warranty, and specific preservation, packaging, packing, and marking for storage. Acceptance is contingent on verification of no transit damage, order correctness, and adherence to preservation/packaging, packing, and marking requirements. The estimated cost for overhaul should not exceed $5,700.

The “Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD” provides an informational guide for contractors on packaging and marking requirements for Department of Defense (DoD) contracts. It covers key regulations and standards such as Title 49 CFR for hazardous materials, ASTM D-3951 for commercial packaging, and MIL-STD-2073-1E for military packaging. The guide details various military preservation methods (e.g., physical protection, preservative coating, waterproof, watervaporproof) and packing levels (Level A and Level B). It outlines the use of MIL-STD-2073-1E worksheets and packaging requirement codes (PRC) for specifying details like quantity per unit pack (QUP), method of preservation (MOP), and cushioning materials. The document also addresses quality assurance provisions, including visual inspections and leakage tests, and provides extensive information on package markings, including identification, barcode, address, and special markings for hazardous materials, shelf-life, and project codes. It also mentions requirements for heat-treated wood packaging material, palletization standards (MIL-STD-147), and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID).
