About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for the U.S. Coast Guard. The procurement is for a BULLDOG TONGUE JACK (part number JAC08KBD-SW-COMP, NSN 2030-01-564-1753) for a 26' TANB trailer. JDCI ENTERPRISES INC is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the sole source for this item. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, indicating that only one responsible source exists that can satisfy agency requirements.
The document explains that technical data for the tongue jack is proprietary and controlled by the OEM, making it impossible to competitively source alternative parts. The Coast Guard conducted market research using internet searches, GSA Advantage, and reviewing previous purchases. The Contracting Officer of Record (COR) commits to continued market research to potentially identify alternative vendors for future acquisitions. The document is dated March 8, 2023, with a customer signature date of July 16, 2025, suggesting this is a forward-looking procurement document.
