The United States Coast Guard (USCG) Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC), Long Range Enforcer Product Line (LREPL) intends to contract on a sole-source basis with MTU America Inc to complete preventative maintenance and engine inspection on the Main Propulsion Diesel Engines (MPDE), model MTU 20V1163TB93, installed on board USCGC BERTHOLF (WMSL 750), a 418 foot WMSL class cutter. The maintenance will include items such as, but not limited to, coupling renewal, lube oil pumps renewal, engine inspection, and intercooler cleaning and inspection. MTU Friedrichshafen (MTU), a subsidiary of Tognum AG which is a joint venture of Rolls Royce plc and Daimler AG, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). MTU America, a subsidiary of Tognum AG, is the sole sales and service representative in the US for this series engine and has access to all proprietary information, design data, technical data, and detailed drawings for these engines. The USCG does not possess all design and technical data regarding these MTU engines which is necessary in order to accomplish this work and cannot provide it to alternate sources to assist them in accomplishing the required task. Therefore, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only MTU, America under the authority of 6.302-1. It is the belief of the Coast Guard that only MTU can perform this work because it alone possesses the required design data, technical data, drawings, and other related proprietary information necessary to successfully perform.
