Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Coast Guard intends to purchase specialized equipment parts for OMAX waterjet systems used at the Aviation Logistics Center, including various filters, valves, actuators, nozzle assemblies, and other components. The specific procurement involves 23 line items with quantities ranging from 1 to 312 units, such as Fine Walter Filter Cartridges, MAXJET Filter Assemblies, Integrated on/off Valve Rebuild Kits, and Nozzle Splash Guards.

The justification indicates that OMAX is the sole source for these parts, as they own all technical rights, specifications, and drawings for the equipment. The parts are critical for maintaining two waterjet systems and cannot be sourced from alternative suppliers. The document emphasizes that these are consumable parts required for routine maintenance, and the government has determined it is uneconomical to purchase the technical rights from the OEM. The proposed vendor is OMAX, located in Kent, Washington, with the unique entity identifier HH9YQK3L5N24. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration.
