This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure and evaluate/repair a Liquid Converter, Part Number 10C-0016-16, National Item Number 01-179-4064, with a quantity of two units on a sole source basis. These items require replacement during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) due to corrosion and/or damages. The justification is based on the determination that only one source is available, citing that these items must comply with Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM) requirements and the USCG's authorized engineering authority for the specific airframe. Essex Industries, located at 8007 Chivvis Drive, Saint Louis, Missouri 63122-2333 (UEI: SVT8HN6HB3E6), has been identified as the sole suggested source. The rationale emphasizes that the technical data and repair specifications required are proprietary to the OEM, with rights not owned by the Government, and that purchasing these rights would be uneconomical. Fair and reasonable price determination methods employed include market research and comparison of proposed pricing with prices found reasonable on previous purchases. The document was last updated on March 3, 2026, with the purchase request number 6223-ND03.
