Attachment 1 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03823QJ0000416.pdf

This document is a justification for other than full and open competition regarding solicitation number 70Z03823QJ0000416 from the Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard for a plug for a drop tank. The Coast Guard requires a plug for its drop tanks that can only be provided by one manufacturer as it is a unique design that has been customized to the Coast Guard's drop tank specifications through previous contracts. As no other manufacturer can provide an equivalent plug, a sole source award is being justified to the original manufacturer to ensure form, fit and function compatibility. The solicitation is for an indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract with a one year base period of performance and four one-year options, for an estimated total value of $500,000 over five years. The Coast Guard plans to make one award by June 2023.
