This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for commercial products and services at or below the simplified acquisition threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure 150 units (with an optional quantity of 150) of debris analysis parts (NSN 01-HS1-7689, KCCC1X) from Jet-Care International, Inc., located at 3 Saddle Road, Cedar Knolls, NC 07927. The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the determination that only one source is available due to the specialized nature of the spare parts involved. These are highly specialized components designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity (Jet-Care International Inc., a 44JF6 entity), and technical data required for acquisition by other sources is unavailable from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The solicitation and resulting purchase order will require all delivered materials to have documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance, in accordance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer has not selected any specific method for fair and reasonable price determination; all available options (market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items in related industries, comparison to IGCE, contracting officer's personal knowledge, and other methods) remain unchecked on the form.
