Brand Name Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a brand-name procurement. The U.S. Coast Guard intends to purchase 100 Nylon Soft Carrying Cases (Green) with a Part Number of SC1003, designed to hold and protect AN/AVS-9 night vision goggles used by USCG aircrew. The procurement requires traceability to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an authorized distributor.

The sole source for this procurement is Aviation Specialties Unlimited, Inc. (ASU), located in Boise, ID. The justification notes that ASU owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings for the item. The government does not possess the technical data rights and has determined it would be uneconomical to develop these rights. The document indicates this is a critical safety and mission-essential item, and a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section of SAM.gov for potential competing sources to review.
