This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form authorizing a sole-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The justification supports the procurement of marine window wipers manufactured by In-Mar Solutions LLC for use on the Fast Response Cutter 154' Richard Snyder, with coverage for both Port and STBD (starboard) Center locations.

The procuring activity is restricting competition based on a brand name justification, as the particular products and features are essential to meet U.S. Coast Guard standards and specifications. In-Mar Solutions LLC, located at 3011 S Rudy Ave, Gonzales, LA 70737 (POC: Toby Whitfield, 225-644-7063), is the sole source identified. The rationale cites the vendor's previous manufacture of marine window wipers for earlier Cutter availabilities and their possession of JCP Access and proprietary information, drawings, and schematics necessary for U.S. Coast Guard asset requirements. Reference is made to previous purchase order 154' Pablo Valent; 70Z04026P60519Y00. The contracting officer designated fair and reasonable price determination methods, with the technical and requirements POC identified as Melvin Dash, Shop Planner X-22 & X-23.
