About this file

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for commercial products and services valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), processed under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The purchase request number is 5200PR260028346 with an estimated total value of $9,540.00. The Coast Guard is procuring technical services from VECTORcontrols Inc., located at 3 Bridge Street, Newton, MA 02458 (UEI: M3MLVMK9XVV3), to provide a Vector technician to troubleshoot the Vector Control System and identify an unknown discrepancy causing the Vector Control Unit to malfunction. The justification for restricting competition cites the "Only One Source Is Available" rationale, with the technical basis that VECTORcontrols Inc. is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) possessing proprietary technical data rights, software code, and manufacturing tooling for vessel propulsion and steering systems, and no other vendor can provide the required form, fit, and function components without unacceptable cost or mission delay. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing using the "Current Price List" method, confirming the proposed price is consistent with VECTORcontrols' published field service rate schedule. The technical point of contact is HARN, DANIEL, PATRICK (1293295979), and the contracting officer is RICHARDSON, JOSHUA CODY (1268418403), with signatures dated 09/14/2026 and 09/16/2026 respectively.
