Attachment III - 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 from the U.S. Coast Guard for a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b). The justification is for sole-source procurement of Databus Cable Sets (part number DNT3003/1) from S W Interconnect LLC (CAGE Code: 00HC0), located in Fort Worth, TX. The initial quantity required is 2 sets, with an optional quantity of 2 additional sets.

The justification cites "only one source reasonably available" as the authority, with S W Interconnect being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and sole source capable of manufacturing these cable sets for testing C130 aircraft 1553 wiring. The document indicates that S W Interconnect owns all technical data, manuals, and proprietary rights for the equipment. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases and comparison with similar items in related industry. The purchase order will include an addendum to FAR 52.212-4 allowing for optional quantities within one year of award.
