This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition on a commercial products and services procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

The Coast Guard is procuring a training course focused on G-Invoicing and its activities as a central platform for generating and managing interagency agreements when buying or selling goods or services among federal trading partners. The procurement number is 5200PRE260026981, and the estimated total value is over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but at or below the SAT. The Coast Guard justifies restricting competition as a "Only One Source Is Available" procurement, claiming the course and curriculum are proprietary to Management Concepts, Inc. (8230 Leesburg Pike, Tysons Corner, VA 22182; UEI: C2R2ML1DWXW6). The justification states that Management Concepts holds the copyright and has not granted any other vendor a license to deliver the course, and that no other company offers equivalent training. Online market research and a Notice of Intent posted in SAM.gov yielded no responses from alternative sources.

For pricing determination, the contracting officer employed market research, comparison of proposed price with prices from previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The justification was signed by John E. Addaman, Training Specialist, SFLC-IOD, on 20 July 2026, and by Contracting Officer Balint Karla Paola on 10 October 2026. The document was last updated 03 March 2026.
