4. Authority:

FAR 13.106-1(b)(1): For purchases not exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT), only one source reasonably available, urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization.

5. Reasons for Authority Cited: SHOXS seats are manufactured by ALLSALT Maritime. ALLSALT Maritime and their network of dealers are the only reasonable sources who can provide these brand-name items. The seats are required to replace the current ones that have deteriorated over time. The current vessels require SHOXS seats to fit the original layout or it will compromise the operational design. Other similar brands/products will require drilling and cutting for installation which will compromise the operational design of the vessel and thus void the current factory warranty.

Failure to update the current SHOXS seats will result in possible detrimental effects and/or potential serious injury to personnel who operate these vessels, because these SHOXS seats are meant to reduce physical impact when traveling through rough waters. As such, it is imperative to replace current SHOXS seats.

6. Publicizing Contract Actions: For FAR Part 13 actions, the public display and synopsis requirements of FAR 5.101 and FAR 5.203 apply and will be followed.

7. Market Research:

Based on market research there is no expectation that there will be two or more small businesses that will meet the delivery schedule or provide an offer at fair market price. As a result, this requirement will be solicited unrestricted and will be posted on SAM.Gov along with a redacted LSJ for brand-name items.

8. Other Facts:. None.
