About this file
This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Coast Guard seeks to purchase various hose fittings for the Base Alameda Industrial Production Facility, specifically from Parker Hannifan Corporation in Cleveland, OH. The justification is based on a brand name requirement, as the specific hose fittings are essential to USCG machinery operations and cannot be easily replaced or modified by alternative manufacturers.
The procurement method is justified under FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), categorizing the purchase as brand-name items peculiar to one manufacturer. The contracting officer determined a fair and reasonable price through market research and competitive offers, noting that while the items are brand-specific, they are available from multiple suppliers. The rationale emphasizes that using non-specified fittings could cause critical damage to USCG machinery, thus necessitating the specific brand from Parker Hannifan Corporation.
