Attachment 3 -Redacted Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form documenting the U.S. Coast Guard's intent to award a sole-source purchase order to De Nora Water Technologies LLC for material related to a Rayox Organic Destruction Device. The justification cites authority under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for "only one source reasonably available" and includes an estimated total value above the micro-purchase threshold but within Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) limits.

The required equipment is a filtration system designed to remove hazardous chemicals from water used in aircraft parts cleaning and washing before release into municipal sewers. De Nora Water Technologies (CAGE: 23822, UEI: TKLXJM44AM99) is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive technical rights and manufacturing specifications. The justification explains that using non-OEM parts could cause malfunctions and void OEM support, and that other vendors lack access to proprietary design information and replacement parts. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through comparison with previous purchases and similar items in related industries.
