About this file

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for restricting competition. The Coast Guard seeks to acquire internet service from AT&T Enterprises, LLC for the TRACEN Petaluma Wastewater Treatment Plant's (WWTP) SCADA system, enabling remote access and quick response to after-hour alarms. The procurement is justified under FAR 12.102(a) as only one source is reasonably available due to geographical limitations and AT&T's exclusive ownership of existing fiber optic infrastructure.

The purchase request number is 61200PR260000065, with an estimated total value falling between the micro-purchase threshold and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). Market research confirmed that AT&T is the sole viable provider, as their fiber optic lines are already in place and no other internet service provider can access the area without cost-prohibitive new infrastructure installation. The technical point of contact signed the document on 12/9/2025, and the Contracting Officer signed on 1/2/2026, using market research as the primary method for determining fair and reasonable pricing.

U.S. COAST GUARD JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FOR RESTRICTING COMPETITION

FAR 12.102(a) (Aug 2025) (DEVIATION 25-21)

PURCHASE REQUEST OR REQUISITION NUMBER:

61200PR260000065

ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE, INCLUDING OPTIONS:

(Over Micro-Purchase Threshold, but up to the SAT)

AUTHORITY JUSTIFICATION TYPE

Restricting Competition 12.102(a)

☒ Only One Source Is Reasonably Available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization).

☐ Brand Name - Items peculiar to one manufacturer: The particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government’s requirements, and market research indicates other companies’ similar products, or products lacking the particular feature, do not meet, or cannot be modified to meet, the agency’s needs

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED AND THE INTENDED USE:

The contractor will provide internet service to allow remote access to the Wastewater Treatment Plant’s (WWTP) SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. This is required to facilitate a quick response to after-hour alarms and issues.

SUGGESTED SOURCE NAME, ADDRESS, & UNIQUE ENTITY IDENTIFIER (UEI):

AT&T Enterprises, LLC, 5807 Stonecroft Blvd, Chantilly, VA 20151 UEI: MX89BGD5FK75

RATIONALE FOR JUSTIFICATION TYPE SELECTED ABOVE TO INCLUDE RELEVANT INFORMATION GAINED

THROUGH YOUR MARKET RESEARCH TO SUPPORT THE JUSTIFICATION TYPE:

Market research conducted confirms that the viability of other potential service providers is negated by the geographical realities of the area. TRACEN Petaluma's location is such that it falls outside the service areas of other major internet service providers.

It is critical to note that the fiber optic lines necessary for this service are already in place and are the exclusive property of AT&T. These lines are owned and operated solely by AT&T, meaning no other provider can access or utilize this essential infrastructure. To engage with another provider would necessitate the installation of entirely new fiber optic lines, a venture that would be both cost-prohibitive and would result in an unacceptable delay in service delivery.

Therefore, based on the geographical limitations and the exclusive ownership of the existing and necessary infrastructure, AT&T is the only source capable of fulfilling the agency's requirements for this service.

CONTRACTING OFFICER - FAIR AND REASONABLE PRICE DETERMINATION METHODS:

☒ MARKET RESEARCH

☐ COMPARISON OF PROPOSED PRICE WITH PRICES FOUND REASONABLE ON PREVIOUS PURCHASES
