Attachment 1 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03823QJ0000368.pdf

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition for solicitation number 70Z03823QJ0000368 from the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard seeking cable assemblies for ACC7 and ACC systems. The Coast Guard requires sole-source procurement of these cable assemblies from the original equipment manufacturer due to the need for form, fit and function compatibility with existing fielded equipment. Award is expected to be made by September 2022 to the incumbent contractor that designed, developed and provides field support for the current cable assemblies. The justification cites prohibitive conversion costs and unacceptable mission delays that would result from qualification and certification of an alternative source.
