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

The procurement seeks removal and installation of government-furnished Starboard fin stabilizer components with vendor-supplied hardware, requiring coordination with on-site dive teams to free a Seized Tactical Defense (STBD) fin from its current position to restore full mission capability to patrol boats. The Purchase Request Number is S2000PR260028354. The suggested source is Quantum Marine Stabilizers located at 3685 SW 30th Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33312 (UEI: FX32HE423AL7). The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the "Only One Source Is Available" rationale, supported by market research indicating that Quantum Marine Stabilizers is the only authorized vendor certified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive technical proprietary data and expertise required to repair the fin stabilizer system and coordinate repairs with on-site dive teams. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases and has documented an unusual and compelling need under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The Technical and Requirements Point of Contact is Carlos A. Harris (HARRIS.CARLOS.A.1076500173), and the Contracting Officer is Karla Paola Balint (BALINT.KARLA.PAOLA.151446004).
