This is a U.S. Coast Guard Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) justification document for other than full and open competition under FAR 12.102(a).

The Coast Guard seeks to purchase five main gear box carts (Part Number P18617, nomenclature STAND MGB BLD/TRA) on a brand-name basis from HC Merchandisers, Inc. (CAGE Code 53037), located at 5536 Ontario Mills Parkway, Ontario, CA 91764. The justification authority is FAR 5.201(c)(3), FAR 11.204, and FAR 12.102(a), based on brand-name requirements. The original equipment manufacturer is Solar Group, Inc. (CAGE Code 3YW78). The main gear box cart is specialized support equipment designed to safely store and transport MH-65 helicopter main gearboxes during long-term storage or phase-out operations, ensuring the gearbox remains stable and protected from environmental factors while remaining accessible for future use or disposition. The Coast Guard determined that other manufacturers' similar products or features do not meet or cannot be modified to meet agency needs, as the OEM owns all technical data and specifications. The Government lacks ownership of relevant technical data and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase data rights or develop alternative technical specifications. The estimated total value is not disclosed in the document. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination method is not indicated as selected. Items are available from required or optional sources of supply under IAW FAR 8.002, with a combined synopsis/solicitation to be posted to the Contract Opportunities section at www.sam.gov, where all responsible sources may submit capability statements or quotations for agency consideration.
