Attachment 3 - Redacted justification for Other than Full and Open.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for other than full and open competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), submitted under FAR 12.102(a) FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard intends to purchase one TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP T-47/M5 IFF test set (quantity 2) directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) on a brand name or equal basis. The item, manufactured by TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP (Cage: 92606, located at 1 Branca Road, East Rutherford, NJ 07073, UEI: ZKBUPYMNL53), is used for test simulation and analysis of interrogator/transponder systems for multiple military aircraft models including modes 1, 2, 3A, C, S, EHS, ADS-B TX and RX, and mode 5 level 1&2, M5L2B and TCAS I & II. The justification cites brand name authority, asserting that TEL-INSTRUMENT owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The document notes that the item meets critical safety, durability, and reliability requirements requiring extensive testing, and that the Government does not possess the technical data or plans to develop it, making it uneconomical to purchase from other sources or reverse engineer the item. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination methods are not specified in the provided sections of the document.
