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

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for the procurement of commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement involves four Mobile Aircraft Dehumidification Carts manufactured by Logis-Tech, Inc. (CAGE Code 0BJV1, located at 9474 Innovation DR Manassas, Virginia 20110-2214, UEI: KQFMAKCKMAF7). The carts are air dehydration units used to maintain stable relative humidity around critical aircraft systems and components to reduce moisture-induced corrosion. The specific items being procured are identified by National Item Identification Numbers (NIIN 01HS29648) with four different part/serial numbers: MDU750/MDU0187, MDU750/MDU0189, MDU750/MDU0151, and MDU750/MDU0188, with a quantity of one unit each. The justification for restricting competition is based on "Only One Source is Available," citing that Logis-Tech, as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The Coast Guard determined it would be uneconomical to purchase data rights or develop alternative technical specifications. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using comparison with similar items in a related industry.
