Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QS0000019.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a commercial products procurement restricted to a single source based on brand name justification under FAR 12.102(a).

The Coast Guard seeks to purchase a Jet-Mac Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) with part number 1006-SA-1-15010SP-3-1 in a quantity of two units. The HPU is a compact, self-contained system designed to provide hydraulic power externally when the helicopter's onboard system is unavailable or requires maintenance. The procurement will be used to replace old units at different air stations. The solicitation is restricted to brand name items because the particular product and its technical specifications and drawings are essential to the Government's requirements. The OEM is Solair Group, Inc. (CAGE Code 3YWZ8), which owns all rights to the technical data and specifications. The Government determined it would be uneconomical to purchase from alternative sources or develop the requisite technical data independently. Two suggested source vendors are identified: Aviation Laboratories, Inc. (Houston, TX) and H C Merchandisers, Inc. (Ontario, CA). The contracting officer selected comparison with similar items in a related industry as the fair and reasonable price determination method. The estimated total procurement value is above the micro-purchase threshold but at or below the SAT, and a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted on sam.gov for responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations.
