JDCI JOTFOC Final Redacted.pdf

This is a Sole Source Acquisition Justification for a federal contract opportunity under 10 U.S.C. § 3205. The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG) Surface Force Logistics Center proposes to award a Requirements-type contract to JDCI Enterprises, Inc., located in Fort Myers, Florida (UEI: X681CB75CHR5) for the procurement of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) trailer parts for JDCI model MS-26TH-12 trailers used to transport 26' Trailerable Aids to Navigation Boats. The contract structure consists of one base year plus four one-year option periods, with funding provided through Operations and Support funds on a current-year basis. The estimated total contract value, including all options, is redacted in the document. This is classified as a commercial products acquisition with fixed-price delivery orders.

The justification demonstrates that sole-source procurement is necessary because JDCI Enterprises, Inc. is the only authorized OEM capable of providing the required trailer parts, and the USCG lacks the complete technical data package needed to support competitive procurement. Market research efforts conducted from January to May 2025 included a Sources Sought Notice posted to SAM.gov (04/22/2025 closing 05/07/2025), an APFS publication (03/03/2025), and direct outreach to potential vendors. Only two responses were received—one from the OEM itself and one from BHPE LLC—neither of which could fulfill the requirement as an authorized dealer. The USCG requested permission to obtain technical data rights from JDCI Enterprises, Inc., but the company declined on April 30, 2025, making competitive evaluation impossible. The previous contract (70Z04020D5800B00) was awarded to the same OEM from 07/02/2020 to 07/01/2025 with an equitable adjustment issued on 07/01/2022. Failure to procure these specific OEM parts would result in inventory shortages and impair the Coast Guard's ability to maintain these trailers and keep the 26' TANB assets mission-ready.
