Justification for Other than Full and Open Comp._Redacted.pdf

This document is a justification for using other than full and open competition to award a sole source contract. The Coast Guard is seeking to repair a control assembly quadrant under solicitation number 70Z03823QH0000165. The justification cites 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) to award a sole source contract to the original manufacturer due to a lack of other suppliers with the technical expertise required to maintain the specialized component. The repair must be completed by January 2023 to ensure the system remains operational during the upcoming hurricane season. Awarding to another supplier would potentially compromise equipment functionality and safety.
