JOTFOC Justification.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC) for a sole source procurement by the US Coast Guard at Air Station Ventura. The acquisition involves a Spacesaver High Density Mobile System (Model 37175SSCMAADD) for additional warehouse storage shelving, with McMurray Stern identified as the sole source provider. The purchase request number is 20200PR250000127, with the procurement conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) and utilizing the commercial item procedures.

The justification cites that McMurray Stern is the only vendor capable of providing a system that can seamlessly integrate with the existing Spacesaver system currently installed in the AMO storage area. The government determined that no other company can provide an exact match to the required specifications, and removing and replacing the existing shelving would cost more than two times the current acquisition amount. The procurement is designated as a small business opportunity under the NAICS code 531130 for warehousing and self-storage, with an estimated amount within the micro-purchase threshold but up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).
