This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products and services procurement under FAR 12.102(a). The requisition number is 5200PR260026939, with an estimated total value over the micro-purchase threshold but below the SAT (Simplified Acquisition Threshold).

The procurement seeks training services from Management Concepts, Inc. (located at 8230 Leesburg Pike, Tysons Corner, VA 22182, UEI: C2R2ML1DWXW8) for SFLC-IOD personnel. The required services involve a data interpretation training course designed to provide practical skills and regulatory guidance on leveraging artificial intelligence to drive innovation and efficiency within the organization. The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" criterion, citing that the course and its curriculum are proprietary to Management Concepts and unavailable from any other vendor. Online market research confirmed no alternative sources offering equivalent training content. The Coast Guard contracting officer employed market research, comparison of proposed pricing with previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries to determine fair and reasonable pricing. The contracting officer is Karla Paola Balint, with the technical and requirements POC being John E. Addaman, Training Specialist. The document was dated July 17, 2026, and last updated March 3, 2026.
