It is the Government's belief that the use of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts will ensure components and processes are sufficient to enable physical and functional interchangeability, as well as meeting source, size, configuration, and performance requirements. Attachment 1 includes the required parts, OEM and description for this requirement. The Government is researching alternative parts that are equivalent to those manufactured by OEM and authorized distributors. Re-manufactured parts are not acceptable.

It is also possible that one firm-fixed price requirements type contract award may be made to the responsible firm with the evaluated capability to provide services on both the East and West coasts. Delivery schedule is critical since expected services are to take place during the vessels availability. (Subject to change at the discretion of the Government)
