U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition
This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for restricting competition in the procurement of commercial products under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The Coast Guard is procuring thirty (30) nondriving vehicular axles (Part Number UT70BA; NSN: 2530-01-707-2295) for use on 27-foot Special Purpose Craft-Shallow Water (SPC-SW) assets. The procurement is valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) and exceeds the micro-purchase threshold. The suggested source is Veterans Group LLC, located at 9891 SE Mathers Road, Claskamas, Oregon 97015 (UEI: PUVNWFNW5BG3).
The justification invokes the "Brand Name" exception because the axles are manufactured by Unique Functional Products (UFP)/Dexter as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and technical data necessary to assess equal or alternate equipment is unavailable. The Coast Guard asserts that any replacement axles must conform to the Dexter brand to meet performance, fit, form, and function requirements for the 27-foot vessels. The procurement rationale emphasizes that manufacturing these critical components without proper technical specifications, tolerances, and test procedures could result in mission degradation. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through market research, comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The Contracting Officer (Bryan Anthony Duffey) signed the justification on 2026-11-10.
