Simplified acquisition procedures. (a) When Procedures Are To Be Used.—To promote efficiency and economy in contracting and to avoid unnecessary burdens for agencies and contractors, the Federal Acquisition Regulation shall provide for special simplified procedures for purchases of property and services for amounts— (1) not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold; and (2) greater than the simplified acquisition threshold but not greater than $5,000,000 for which the contracting officer reasonably expects, based on the nature of the property or services sought and on market research, that offers will include only commercial items.

Brand Name:

If only a portion of the acquisition is for a brand-name product or item peculiar to one manufacturer, the justification and approval is to cover only the portion of the acquisition which is brand-name or peculiar to one manufacturer. The justification should state it is covering only the portion of the acquisition which is brand-name or peculiar to one manufacturer, and the approval level requirements will then only apply to that portion.

This requirement applies to FAR 6 and FAR 13.5 justifications.

1. (3) the $5,000,000 limitation in sections 1901(a)(2) and 3305(a)(2) of this title and section 3205(a)(2) of title 10 is deemed to be $10,000,000.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. The USCG requires the use of OEM’s for tech rep services to accomplish the following requirements: Work Item (WI) 14: The Contractor must provide the services of a licensed Tech Rep, who is familiar with the Helo Hangar door system (i.e., Federal Equipment Co. Model HH3000 Series) to accomplish the following tasks – on site:

• Provide manufacturer's proprietary information, software, and tools pertinent to the equipment/system.

• Assist with proper repair methods and ensure compliance with manufacturer's procedures and standards during disassembly, inspection, repair, modification, calibration, test and reassembly of the equipment/system.

• Check and adjust gaps around Helo-Hangar Doors until they are within tolerance limits by adjusting Door Dog Position Switch, Safety Edge, Guide Rail Assembly, Dogging Socket (Plate), and Bottom Bar Assembly (i.e. Dogging Lever) respectively.

• Observe Operational Test.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. The Contractor must provide the services of a qualified and certified NDE Inspector to perform welding NDE inspections.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Once it was determined that the proprietary tech data are not readily available, it is apparent that only a Certified Representative of Federal Equipment Co. can perform the services.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

Much of the production is made up of custom engineering systems to meet the Coast Guard’s specifications. Therefore, Federal Equipment Co. is the sole proprietor of the data rights for these components. Only those Technical Representatives which have been certified by Federal Equipment Co. can execute the work.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Due to the manufacturing of the vessel, it has unique components such as these that require a an OEM certified tech rep to perform the work.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. None.
