This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document supporting a sole-source procurement of commercial products and services.

The Coast Guard is procuring a Panel Meter Calibrator (PMC) replacement from TEST, LLC, located at 6120 Hanging Moss Road, Orlando, Florida 32807-3701 (UEI: GSZUWS1J7KE3). The justification cites FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1, under the "Only One Source Is Available" category. The Coast Guard's shipboard calibration program requires transition from the obsolete ARBITER Systems Model 1040C Panel Meter Calibrator to the MEATEST 6040 PMC. Market research indicates the 6040 is the exclusive replacement source meeting specific technical requirements of the legacy ARBITER system. The procurement is essential for replacing the now-unsupported 1040C, facilitating creation of training protocols, and enabling field testing to confirm the unit's ability to meet rigorous Coast Guard service requirements. The estimated total value, including options, exceeds the Micro-Purchase Threshold but falls below the SAT (Simplified Acquisition Threshold). Fair and reasonable price determination methods employed include market research, comparison of proposed price with prices from previous purchases, and current price list review. The justification was prepared by James D. Duffcy (Technical and Requirements POC) and approved by Contracting Officer Karla Paola Balint on June 16, 2026.
