It serves as an informational guide for familiarization purposes and is not an officially adopted DoD document.

• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Regulations and requirements for packaging hazardous materials for different modes of transport (Land, Water, Air).
• Military Preservation Methods: Five basic methods (10-50) for preserving items, including physical protection, preservative coatings, and waterproof protection.
• Military Packing Levels: Level A and Level B packing requirements for severe and moderate worldwide shipment conditions, respectively, as well as minimal packing requirements.
• Packaging Codes: An introduction to the Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC) used in MIL-STD-2073-1E(1) for specifying packaging details.
• Inspection Provisions: Details on preservation and packing inspections, including visual examinations and leakage/seam tests.
• Package Markings: Types of markings required on unit, intermediate, and exterior containers, including identification, bar codes, address, and special markings (e.g., hazardous materials, fragile).
• Key Specifications: A list of relevant military standards and ASTM standards related to packaging (e.g., MIL-STD-2073, MIL-STD-129, ASTM D3951).

Bidders should consult this guide to understand the potential scope and complexity of packaging and marking requirements that may be specified in a contract or solicitation.

Solicitation / Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies a "Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition" (JOFOC) for the purchase of six hundred (600) filter elements, air intake, P/N: ECB120376, NSN: 2940-01-482-8301. These are components for the 87' WPB Coastal Patrol Boat Main Diesel Engines. The estimated total value is $84,000.00.

• Six hundred (600) air intake filter elements.

• Items must conform to the design, materials, and operational requirements of the standard configuration currently installed on the 87' WPB Coastal Patrol Boat.

• The filter's function is to filter intake air, removing particles before they enter the air intake system to prevent equipment failure, loss of propulsion, and potential safety risks to the vessel and crew.

• The estimated total value, including options, is $84,000.00.

• The procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b).

• The justification cites "ONLY ONE SOURCE REASONABLY AVAILABLE" due to the brand name nature of the items. Donaldson Company Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and their manufacturing drawings, specifications, and technical data are proprietary and not for sale.

• Vendors other than the OEM must provide documentation certifying that the listed filters meet OEM specifications and standards for the 87' WPB Coastal Patrol Boats.

• Market research was conducted, and suggested sources include Southern Automotive Wholesalers, Inc., SIT Corporation, Brighton Cromwell, LLC, and Seahorse Defense Supply, LLC.

• One suggested source, Seahorse Defense Supply, LLC, is identified as Small, Minority Owned.

• The document indicates that the Coast Guard cannot require the OEM to release proprietary technical data, which hinders full and open competition.

• The last updated date on the document is 11/01/24.
