    Description

    The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard, is seeking quotes for the procurement of marine fenders, specifically part number 8400049, as part of a total small business set-aside contract. The requirement includes the provision of two marine fenders, which must be packaged and delivered according to strict military standards to ensure protection during transit and storage. These fenders are critical components used in U.S. Coast Guard small boats, and the procurement is justified as a sole-source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the product, limiting availability to the original equipment manufacturer. Interested vendors must submit their quotes by September 19, 2024, at 12:00 PM EDT, and can direct inquiries to Yannick Kassi at yannick.a.kassi@uscg.mil.

    This document serves as a justification for a sole-source procurement as part of the federal government's simplified acquisition procedures. The request is based on the necessity for a specific marine fender (part number 8400049) required by the U.S. Coast Guard, with the unique characteristics of the product limiting availability to only one source—the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The justification outlines that critical technical data to assess alternative suppliers is unavailable, as the OEM retains control over manufacturing specifications and information. Efforts to ensure that multiple quotes or offers were solicited were hindered by this proprietary status. The contracting officer will continue market research to identify potential vendors capable of providing the required engineering data and parts in future procurements. The document includes specific regulatory citations and signatures related to the procurement process. Overall, it emphasizes the necessity of sole-source procurement under exceptional circumstances while acknowledging the need for broader competition in future acquisitions.
