About this file

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The Coast Guard is procuring 70 fire extinguishers, Part Number MA2-175-227, National Stock Number 4210-01-624-3594, for use on an OTH (vessel platform). The estimated total value is over the micro-purchase threshold but at or below the SAT.

The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on a Brand Name restriction under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The rationale states that the technical data required to assess equivalent or alternate equipment meeting the Coast Guard's performance, fit, form, and function requirements is unavailable. The fire extinguishers must be original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts compatible with currently installed systems on the vessel, and any attempt to source alternative products without proper OEM manufacturing drawings, specifications, tolerances, test procedures, and related documentation could result in significant mission degradation. The sole source supplier is FIREBOY-XINTEX, INC, located at 379 Lake Michigan, Grand Rapids, Michigan 49544 (UEI: J1P2JJNSE8N3). Fair and reasonable pricing was determined through market research, comparison with prices from previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The technical point of contact signed the justification on June 2, 2026, and the contracting officer signed on the same date.
