This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for other than full and open competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 16 engine extinguishers (P/N: 10230-01, NSN: 1680-14-562-8832) for use on MH65 helicopters. The suggested source is SAFETECH USA, INC, DBA SAFETECH (Cage: 06ZV6), located at 1230 Wilson Road Ct, Humble, TX 77396-1384, with UEI: KN1MVE71ZEL1. The justification for single-source procurement is based on the authority of FAR 12.102(a)—only one source reasonably available due to urgent circumstances. The rationale explains that SAFETECH is the only known source with the capability to release, capture, re-use, and refill the hazardous agent inside the engine extinguishers during overhaul and hydrostatic testing, returning them to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. SAFETECH is the only current vendor known and authorized by the SEA Engineering to perform this specialized overhaul and hydrostatic test. Additionally, the Government lacks adequate data or rights to the data and it would not be economical to purchase such data or rights. No fair and reasonable price determination methods were marked as selected in the contracting officer's section of the document.
