This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial products procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement is for spare parts to support MH-65 helicopters. Specifically, the Coast Guard seeks 21 units of a Sensor, MGB Oil (part number APTE-643-1000-152G, NSN 01-HS2-7666) with an optional quantity of 15 additional units. The justification type selected is "Brand Name," citing that the particular product and its specific features are essential to government requirements, and market research indicates other companies' similar products do not meet or cannot be modified to meet the agency's needs. The suggested sole source is Benz Companies Ltd, located at 2400 Handley Ederville Road, Fort Worth, TX 76118-6118 (UEI: W8J7VHEVCJV9). The rationale emphasizes that these are highly specialized parts designed and manufactured by a non-government activity, with technical data available only from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Coast Guard specifies that all delivered materials must include clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with contract conditions per FAR clause 52.246-15. Page 2 indicates that fair and reasonable price determination methods were evaluated, though the specific method selected is redacted from the document.
