The document outlines a justification for using a specific brand name, In Mar Solution, LLC, for electric motors for windshield wipers required by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The product, identified by part number IM-WLB-GA81, is essential for the maintenance of the WLB-225 class buoy tenders' windshield wiper system. The Coast Guard asserts that only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts ensure compatibility, as they lack the technical documentation to assess alternatives. The justification cites that program requirements prevent the use of alternative products without extensive modification, which would complicate configurations across vessels. Furthermore, adhering to Coast Guard configurations is crucial to avoid lengthier engineering change processes. This document serves to emphasize the need for brand-specific procurement to maintain operational efficiency and uniformity within the fleet.
