Attachment 2 - Brand Name Justification.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a brand name procurement. The U.S. Coast Guard seeks to purchase thirteen (13) Radar Interface Boards (21x7), part number 2274, manufactured by SSR Engineering, Inc., for the AN/SPS-78 Radar marine surface search system installed on USCG marine vessels. The specific brand name requirement is justified because the RIB (Radar Interface Board) is a critical component of the radar system, and substitutions are not allowed.

The procurement is a firm fixed-price purchase with a one-time material requirement, targeted for delivery within 60 days after receipt of order to the USCG C5ISC Electronics Repair Facility in Baltimore, Maryland. The solicitation (RFQ #52801PR250000002) is open to vendors, with responses due by April 8, 2025, at 10:00 AM ET. The award will be made to the lowest-price technically acceptable quote that meets the brand name specifications, with no set-aside restrictions and a NAICS code of 334511 for search and navigation system manufacturing.
