About this file

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a simplified acquisition procedure (SAP) under FAR 13.106-1(b). The USCG Surface Forces Logistics Center has a requirement to purchase various electronic equipment from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Flir Maritime US, Inc., including Axiom +7 RV display units, antennas, cable assemblies, and sonar transducers. The justification cites the proprietary and integrated nature of the OEM equipment as the reason for the sole source procurement, as the equipment is not compatible with other brands. The estimated total value of the purchase is $224,941.50. The USCG will post the solicitation on the SAMS website to allow all potential sources to submit quotes, which will be evaluated on ability to provide all items, delivery timeframe, and price. A firm fixed-price purchase order will be awarded based on the lowest technically acceptable offer.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. This is a Brand Name by Raymarine (OEM) part number request for purchase of electronic equipment. This equipment is an integral piece of electronics equipment, that is are part of a multi-equipment electronics system. All integration and connectivity requirements of the item with the system is proprietary information of the OEM. The expense and lack of OEM’s proprietary information, for research and development for the integration, and connectivity capabilities with system already installed on USCG Cutters and Small Boats makes any attempt to identify replacement equipment uneconomical.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). This purchase will be advertised on SAMS web site soliciting for all potential sources. OEM, and OEM venders have been contacted as part of market research.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

This is a Brand Name by Raymarine (OEM) part number request for purchase of equipment. The above equipment is compatible with the existing approved and configured electronic system. No other brand will work with this system. Attempting to use other than the approved equipment will result in assets remaining in Not Mission Capable (NMC) status.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. This is a proprietary commercial item of the proposed OEM contractor. The manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data related to this item was never purchased by the U.S. Coast Guard and therefore are controlled by and remain the sole property of the OEM, Raymarine.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. The COR will continue to conduct market research in the attempt to locate vendors that can satisfy the needs of the Coast Guard including a requirement for manufacturer’s engineering drawings, detailed parts lists, design or testing procedures, and other relevant information concerning this item.
