Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QB0000138.pdf

This document 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).

The acquisition pertains to crew harness assemblies (part number 01-HS1-4518, NIIN 960020-3) with a quantity of 10 units. The contracting officer has justified restricting competition based on brand name, determining that the particular brand is essential to the Government's requirements because the spare parts are highly specialized, designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity, and the technical data required for acquisition from other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is unavailable. The suggested source is Cobham Mission Systems (DUNS: 136108342), located at 2734 Hickory Grove Road, Davenport, Iowa 52804-1203. The rationale emphasizes that the solicitation and resulting purchase order will require all materials to have documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Airworthiness certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. However, none of the contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods have been checked or completed on the form, indicating this section requires additional documentation or completion before contract award.
