Attachment 3 - Brand Name Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a Simplified Acquisition Procedure (SAP). The U.S. Coast Guard's Electronic Systems Directorate (ESD) intends to purchase a Fuel Quantity Test Set (Part Number PSD90-3) from VAIVI SOLUTIONS, LLC or its authorized distributors. The test set is specifically for testing AC or DC fuel, water, liquid oxygen (LOX), or engine oil systems for the C-130 aircraft.

The justification is based on a "Brand Name" procurement, with VAIVI Solutions owning all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the item. The document lists two authorized solution partners: EDMO DISTRIBUTORS, INCORPORATED and TESTFORCE USA, INC. The procurement is considered highly specialized, with the government not having developed the technical data to reverse engineer the item. The last update to this document was 11/01/24, and it indicates that potential sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation through the SAM.gov website.
