- Description
- 1. Contracting Activity: Department of the Navy, Military Sealift Command-Norfolk (MSC), 471 East C. Street Norfolk, Va. 23511. 2. Description of Action Being Approved: MSC Norfolk has a requirement for 30" Monel Strainer Baskets for the T-AKE class vessels. 3. Description of Supplies/Services: This requirement covers the brand name sole source procurement of the 30" Monel Strainer Baskets that are used in the Salt Water Sea Strainers onboard all the T-AKE's. These Strainers Baskets are manufactured by Eaton Filtration; PN BS030099915CN and are used in the Model 91 T Type Strainer. 4. Statutory Authority Permitting Other Than Full and Open Competition: The statutory authority for this procurement is the test program for commercial items (Section 4202 of the Clinger Cohen Act of 1996) implemented at FAR 13.501 and FAR 13.106-1(b). 5. Rationale Justifying Use of cited Statutory Authority: The Central Sea Water Cooling System provides cooling water to the High Temperature Fresh Water Cooling System, Low Temperature Fresh Water Cooling System as well as the Distilling Plants. The Salt Water Sea Strainer baskets are necessary to be fabricated of a high quality material which aides in keeping marine growth out of these systems. Monel is ideal for marine applications due to its corrosion resistance. Without spare strainer baskets, the vessels run the risk of introducing marine growth into the systems which are fed from the Central Sea Water System. This can pose a threat to the overall operation of the vessel being halted due to the inability to properly and safely operate these required systems. Complete plant shutdown and loss of electricity may occur, putting the ship and personnel in danger at sea and/or in port alongside the pier. The fabrication of these strainer baskets must be exact so that the total surface area and perforations will allow for the required flow rate of 16,731 gallons per minute. The OEM Manufacturer, Eaton Filtration, has provided strainer baskets for the T-AKE's at the build yard which meets these exact requirements. In accordance with MSC's standardization initiative, only the specified make of the strainers will satisfy the Government's needs and only one known OEM is known. The APL (Allowance Parts List) for the T-AKE Class is #X231912AQQP. The required items are direct replacement parts/components for the existing equipment and are compatible in terms of fit, form and function with the existing installation. 6. Description of Efforts Made to Solicit Offers from as Many Offerors as Practicable: The requirement was synopsized in FEDBIZOPPS on 21 June 2013. To date there have been two small businesses that have replied to the posting. 7. Determination of Fair and Reasonable Cost: The Contracting Officer will determine that the price is fair and reasonable pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 13.106-3. 8. Actions to Remove Barriers to Future Competition: The Contract Specialist conducted market research and determined that there were 2 or more small business distributors that could submit a proposal for this requirement.
