Summary: U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The Coast Guard is procuring five (05) each of T-SET NVG, ANV126A Night Vision Device Test Sets (Part Number ANV126A-001) for evaluation and calibration purposes. These test sets are used to verify the quality, performance, and reliability of night vision equipment, such as night vision goggles.

The justification invokes the "Only One Source Is Available" exception, citing that Hoffman Engineering, LLC (CAGE Code 06097, located at 8 Riverbend Drive, Stamford, CT 06907, UEI: DSKMEFJH4K5) is the sole source. The rationale indicates that Hoffman Engineering owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture this equipment, and the Government has not developed the technical data necessary to reverse engineer the item or develop an adequate purchase description. The Government determined it would be uneconomical to purchase the data rights or develop the technical data independently. The procurement will use market research for price reasonableness determination. The document was last updated on 03/03/2026.
