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 15 Liner Spacer Kits (with an optional quantity of 45) for MH-65 helicopters, to be sourced exclusively from Saft America Inc., Transportation DI in Valdosta, GA. The justification is based on the "Brand Name" procurement authority, indicating these are specialized parts peculiar to a specific manufacturer that cannot be easily replaced or modified to meet the agency's needs. The rationale emphasizes that these are highly specialized parts for which Saft America is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and procuring from any other source would compromise the safety and technical integrity of the aircraft. A Certificate of Conformance will be required to ensure compliance with the contract conditions.
