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 justification document, dated 07/23/2026, covers purchase request 5200PR260026869 with an estimated total value of $11,600.00.
The Coast Guard seeks to procure PANSHIP simulation software to develop a model that simulates coast guard cutter boats. PANSHIP is owned and maintained by the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN). The software will be integrated into the SLFC-ESD-NAME Naval Architecture Section to provide state-of-the-practice simulation capability for evaluating the dynamic stability of coast and cutters, including RHIBs, cutters, and icebreakers in moderate to severe seaways to support safe operating conditions and operational recommendations. The sole source justification is based on specialized engineering software access to PANSHIP for Linear and Nonlinear Seakeeping analysis available exclusively through MARIN. Prior market research through SAM.GOV sources and notices resulted in no responses from other contractors. The suggested source is STICHTING MARITIEM RESEARCH INSTITUUT NEDERLAND (DBA: MARIN), located at HAAGSTEEG 2Haagsteeg 2 Wageningen 6708 PM, Netherlands, with UEID: ZSZTGDQ5J525. The contracting officer employed market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method, as referenced in the JOTFOC rational or RFO SOS review. Technical Point of Contact Michael Nader signed the justification on 07/14/2026.
