This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a commercial product acquisition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard is procuring Crew Harness Assembly, NSN 960020-3, Quantity 10 each, under part number 01-HS1-4518. The justification type selected is Brand Name, indicating that items peculiar to one manufacturer are required because the particular brand, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements. The spare parts are highly specialized, designed and manufactured by a non-Government entity (the Original Equipment Manufacturer), and the technical data required for acquisition by other sources is unavailable. The suggested source is Mission Systems Davenport Inc. (CAGE: 99251), located at 2734 Hickory Grove Road, Davenport, IA 52804-1203. All materials delivered must be documented with traceability to the OEM and include a completed Certificate of Conformance certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15. The contracting officer has not selected any specific method for determining fair and reasonable pricing from the available options listed (market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items in related industry, comparison to IGCE, or contracting officer's personal knowledge).
