Attachment III - Justifiction for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The acquisition is for 2 RF80-M aircraft battery charger/analyzers from Marvel Aero International, Inc., with a National Stock Number of 6130-01-610-9925. The battery charger is used in the aviation industry to charge, discharge, and analyze both Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) and lead-acid aircraft batteries, ensuring they meet performance and safety standards.

The justification indicates these items are highly specialized and manufactured exclusively by Christie Electric and distributed by Marvel Aero International, who hold all technical rights to the data and specifications. The government does not own the technical data rights, and purchasing these items from alternative sources would be uneconomical. The document notes that a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section of www.sam.gov, with responsible sources invited to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration.
