About this file

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition for a simplified acquisition. The Coast Guard Port Security Unit community is standardizing its deployable tents to be outfitted with the same 6-ton Environmental Control Units from HDT Global. These ECUs are specifically designed to fit the tents' existing configuration, allowing for standardization across Coast Guard PSUs and cost savings. An RFQ was posted on the DHS Marketplace for GSA and open market bidders, but HDT Global is the sole manufacturer of the required state-of-the-art, fully integrated ECUs. The contracting officer approved the justification on September 6, 2023.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

The Coast Guard Port Security Unit (PSU) community is working to standardize a systematic configuration to having its deployable tents outfitted with the same standard ECU equipment throughout the PSUs. All of the PSU tents were purchased through HDT Global and configured with the HDT 6-ton ECUs. The HDT ECUs are specifically designed to be fitted to the PSUs current tent configuration. This will allow for standardization across Coast Guard PSUs and significant costs savings.
