Attachment 1 - Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a brand-name procurement. The Coast Guard intends to purchase two specific items from SC Industrial Sales, LLC as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM): a Particle Counter (Part Number LPA3WPM101, Quantity: 3) and a Bottle Sample Kit (Part Number LPA2-BS110M00, Quantity: 3). These are Portable Light Extinction Particle Analyzer and Counter for Oil devices used to measure and count particulate contamination in oil samples.

The justification is based on the "Brand Name" acquisition method, as the equipment is specifically from MP FILTRI USA, INC. and requires technical data, specifications, and drawings exclusively owned by this manufacturer. The OEM owns all rights to the technical data, and no other sources can provide an equivalent product. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to www.sam.gov, and all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The document is dated 12/18/2025 and uses FAR 5.201(c)(3) and FAR 12.102(a) as its procurement authority.
