JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

Procurement of NIDA Corporation Circuit cards are requiring Non warranty repair, in order to provide the Electrical fundamental training for the Electricians Mate (EM) “A” School onboard the Training Center Yorktown. These items are made, repaired and distributed by NIDA Corporation.

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The United States Coast Guard has determined that the NIDA Corporation Trainer and cards are the standard by which electrical fundamentals will be taught. As previously mentioned, the equipment requiring Non-warranty repairs are utilized in the EM “C” School conducted at TRACEN Yorktown, Therefore there is no other company to repair these equipment since the equipment is made, repaired and distributed by NIDA Corporation.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Market research revealed that since this equipment is proprietary to NIDA Corporation, the contracting office intends to issue a sole source procurement to NIDA Corporation, (DUNS 061354270, a SMALL Business under NAICS 334418, Printed Circuit Assembly (Electronic Assembly) Manufacturing. There is no other company that provides the equipment used in the EM Schoolhouse.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

These items are proprietary to NIDA Corporation and distribution of these items are provided only by NIDA Corporation.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

There is no other company than NIDA Corporation that can provide NIDA equipment to meet the needs mentioned above.
