9. Impact Statement (describe the impact on the mission or property)

The item listed above must conform to design, materials, and operational requirements. The listed item is the standard configuration currently installed and used with the Salt Water cooling system for the Ships Service Diesel Engines on the 154’ WPC Fast Response Cutters. Any attempt to manufacture the listed item without the proper specifications, drawings, and technical data could cause equipment failure, flooding and subsequent failure to meet unit mission requirements. The Duplex Strainer Basket is a vital part of the salt water cooling system, as it allows the engines to operate in various types of water conditions. The Duplex Strainer Basket also allows for smaller particles and debris to be collected. This Strainer Basket also allows for the operator to switch over to one basket and clean out the other side without having to shut down the Engines. As these Cutters operate in various sea and weather conditions, the waters they operate in can get churned up and become contaminated with various types of debris such as sea grass, twigs, plastic bags and other items, which if allowed to enter the cooling systems could cause clogging of piping or even damage to the engines water pumps. This action could cause the engines to overheat and shut down. Any failure of substituted parts would jeopardize the safety of the vessel and crew.

10. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by Full and Open Competition has not been developed or are not suitable.

Hayward Industrial products, Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the Strainer Baskets used on the 154’ WPC Coast Guard vessels.

The material, manufacturing processes and technical data of the listed items are proprietary to the OEM and not for sale as was requested by the Coast Guard. Bridge Sales Group Eaton Strainers and Parts is an authorized distributer and can guarantee interchangeability, compatibility, function and size requirements of the listed item. Authorized distributors shall provide documentation certifying the listed items meet OEM specifications and standards and they pertain to the 154’ WPC Fast Response Cutters.

11. Provide a Statement of Actions, if any, the government may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before future acquisitions are required.

COR will continue to conduct market research to locate other possible vendors who can supply the item listed above.
