Summary: U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for a single-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The procurement is for spare parts to be utilized on MH-65 helicopters, specifically 23 Engine Extinguishers (NSN 1680-14-562-8832, P/N I0230-01).

The single-source justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the rationale, supported by market research. The contracting officer has identified SafeTech USA, Inc. (CAGE Code 06ZV6) located at 1230 Wilson Road CT, Humble, TX 77396-1384 as the sole source vendor. According to the justification, SafeTech USA, Inc. is the only known source with the capability to release, capture, re-use, and refill the hazardous agent inside the Engine Extinguisher during overhaul/hydrostatic testing while returning units to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specification per SRR Engineering authorization. The government lacks adequate data or the ability to economically obtain the data or rights necessary to utilize alternative sources. The document was last updated on 03/03/2026.
