This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services under FAT 12.102(a).

The Coast Guard is procuring a repair kit for the CGC Fredrick Hatch emergency diesel generator (EDG) louver system under Purchase Request 52000PR2700000744. The specific item required is part number 801-MRC-K113EDG-04, originally designed and manufactured by Zazz Engineering, Inc. The justification restricts competition to a single source—CENTEK Marine, located at 116 Plantation Oak Drive, Thomasville, GA 31792 (UEI: P6RMB3PQK8V8)—on a brand-name-only basis. The rationale establishes that CENTEK Marine is now the sole OEM capable of producing components conforming to the exact technical specifications required after acquiring Zazz Engineering. The Coast Guard warehouse maintains individual portions and high-failure components of this specific kit in stock. Procuring alternative makes or models would eliminate the fleet's ability to quickly exchange standardized parts between vessels, severely impacting the Coast Guard's capability to perform rapid repairs and maintain operational "Safe-to-Sail" standards. Without proper EDG louver system operation, the generator will overheat and fail to operate as designed, causing the cutter to not meet safe-to-sail standards and jeopardizing operational commitments until rectified. Fair and reasonable price determination methods selected include market research and comparison to IGCE. The document was signed by Technical Requirements POC Travis J. Batman on November 4, 2027, and by Contracting Officer Karla Paola Balint on November 5, 2026.
