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

This is a federal procurement justification document for the U.S. Coast Guard authorizing restricted competition for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The justification invokes FAR 12.102(a) with FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1, citing "Only One Source Is Available" as the basis for limiting competition due to urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization requirements.

The procurement concerns spare parts for MH-65 helicopters, specifically a Talon Probe (NIIN 99-257-4889, P/N 4903H1) with a quantity of 63 units and no optional quantity. The suggested source is Coastal Mechanics Company, Inc., located at 7680 Woodway Drive, Suite 510, Houston, TX 77063-1538 (UEI: EEZWPVTG7BE8). The justification rationale explains that Talon Probes are necessary to return components to ready-for-issue status through the OEM, as the OEM or authorized facility is unavailable. Due to complexity in component repairs and the requirement for documented traceability and Certificate of Conformance compliance, only OEM or SRR (Supplemental Repair Facility) authorized facilities are authorized. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using comparison with similar items in a related industry as the primary pricing methodology.
