This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products and services procurement at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard is procuring a new operating wear cover and driving device vertical in-order repair kit for the Fuel Oil Purifying (FOP) system. These repairs are critical for maintaining clean and serviceable fuel for machinery equipment and transferring liquid loads between tanks while maintaining ship stability, which is essential for ship and crew safety. The suggested source is Alfa Laval, located at 5400 Int. Trade Drive, Richmond, VA 23231 (UEI: GMK1MSRKPVA9). The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" based on urgency and exclusive licensing agreements. According to the rationale, Alfa Laval Inc. is the sole responsible source for the required part, as their FOP system creates a significant reduction in fuel transfer speed, cleanliness, and particle control. Any delay would compromise the CGC VIGOROUS's ability to sail on schedule and complete critical Atlantic Area mission execution requirements. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchase prices, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The justification was signed by Technical and Requirements POC Russell Charlotte Brown on 7/29/2026 and by Contracting Officer Balint Karla Paola on 8/10/2026.
