About this file
This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The procurement is for Kingfisher fire alarm/notification system receivers for Base Kodiak, with an estimated total value of $94,183.77. The current legacy receivers at the MilPol and Fire Station are no longer supported, with parts unavailable from the manufacturer, and are operating with impairments that could severely hinder emergency alarm monitoring.
The procurement justification is based on the brand name exception, as Kingfisher is the sole manufacturer with the specific system configuration, design, and operational knowledge of Base Kodiak's system. The document indicates that Kingfisher Company, Inc. (located in Lowell, MA) is the recommended source, with a GSA Schedule of 47QSW-A21D-005N. The contract approach relies on market research for price determination, and the technical point of contact signed the document on 11 Aug 2025, with the Contacting Officer's signature dated 09/02/2025.
