Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Commercial Products and Services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), prepared under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks to procure repair services for a metal brow (a floating pier connecting structure) that has sustained storm-related damage at its hinge points, resulting in detachment and misalignment. The brow is attached to the Station's main servicing dock and is essential for fully mission-capable assets used in search and rescue operations. The unit currently cannot safely access that dock due to the damage. The estimated total procurement value is over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but up to the SAT. The suggested sole source is Quigg Brothers Construction, located at 819 W. State Street, Aberdeen, WA 98520 (UEI VGL5NTHAYD89).

The justification is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" exception, citing urgency required due to safety and operational readiness degradation. The rationale explains that the unit cannot effectively maintain its fully mission-capable status due to lack of fueling and shore power services, nor can it safely transit to other docks without the repaired brow and hinge assembly. Market research was conducted through general marine contractors to support this determination. The contracting officer selected Market Research as the fair and reasonable price determination method.
