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

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for other than full and open competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b). The purchase request number is 52000PR260002416, with an estimated total value over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold.

The Coast Guard is procuring Air Circuit Breakers for 210 Medium Endurance Cutters (WMEC) under USCGC Active and USCGC Diligence. The justification cites a "Brand Name" authority under FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), asserting that the specified brand is essential to meet Government requirements. The rationale indicates that this brand maintains configuration standardization, as these parts have been previously installed on several 210 WMEC vessels under a Technical Compliance Time Order (TCTO) WMEC 210 TD2060.0, ensuring compatibility with existing electrical systems. The fair and reasonable price determination method selected is market research. The Technical and Requirements Point of Contact is Christopher Landers, and the Contracting Officer is Karla Paol Balint. Both signatures are dated 01/12/2026 and 01/14/2026, respectively. The document was last updated 11/01/24.
