Brand Name Only Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard justification for a non-competitive procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 11,000 square feet of Mannington Commercial Variations 4 Carpet Tile (Lapis 24"x24" Premium) under part number VAR42424-34240. The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on a brand name designation, as the existing facilities flooring layout at Base Alameda utilizes a standardized carpet tile layout that is no longer actively manufactured or maintained in standard commercial stock. The required product is necessary to match existing carpet for spot repair and maintenance projects executed by the government in the course of facility repairs and operations. The contracting officer employed market research and comparison to IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate) as the fair and reasonable price determination methods to support this procurement.
