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), issued under FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard is justifying a sole-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a) based on the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization as the rationale. The procurement (Purchase Request/Requisition Number 6169-ND02) involves the acquisition of one modulating valve (P/N 4952829, NSN 2840-01-551-4791, Quantity 3 each) for testing, evaluation, and repair purposes. These valves are being replaced during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) due to corrosion and/or damage. The suggested source is RTX Corporation (CAGE Code 52661), located at 400 Main Street, East Hartford, CT 06118, identified as the authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair facility. RTX Corporation possesses exclusive rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to repair these items, and it has been determined that purchasing these repair rights from other sources would be uneconomical. The Contracting Officer has employed market research and comparison of proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases as the methods for fair and reasonable price determination.
