About this file

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b). The justification covers a single procurement action for Russell Stol 20A PLG 11P12W connectors, Quantity 11, from manufacturer ABB/Russellstoll (Cage 56501). The purchase request number is 5260PC3000297, and the estimated total value falls between the micro-purchase threshold and the simplified acquisition threshold.

The contracting officer selected the Brand Name justification type under FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing that the particular brand name, product, and features are essential to the Coast Guard's requirements and that market research confirms no equivalent products from other manufacturers meet the agency's specifications. The technical rationale notes these parts are critical for proper asset operation and that manufacturing the parts without proper technical drawings and specifications could result in mission degradation. For fair and reasonable price determination, the contracting officer employed market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The document was signed by Technical POC Lugo, Adolfo M. on 2/5/26 and contracting officer Woodley, Kurt A. on 2/5/26.
