About this file
This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
The Coast Guard is procuring services to develop Risk Based Seakeeping Evaluations and Operator Guidance approach to support USCG assets, with an estimated total value of $98,500.00 under Purchase Request Number 5200PR260026726. The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the authority, specifically referencing urgency and unique expertise requirements under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The suggested source is Congressional Marine Design, LLC, located in Severna Park, Maryland. The rationale indicates that Dr. Staubaugh and the CMD consulting team have conducted extensive seakeeping analysis, model testing, and full-scale trials specific to USCG applications, with considerable first-hand experience in USCG cutter operations under severe weather conditions that cannot be replicated elsewhere within the USCG. The contracting officer employed market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method, confirming the vendor as the sole source possessing the unique expertise and proprietary data required. The technical and requirements point of contact, Michael Nader, signed the justification on 06/26/2026, and Contracting Officer Joshua Richardson signed on 07/17/2026.
