Sole Source Justification_Redacted.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) under FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement seeks repair services for a FLIR-manufactured thermal imaging device that has been sent to FLIR for initial diagnostic evaluation. The required services include evaluation confirmation, repair, replacement of failed proprietary parts, functional testing, calibration, optical alignment, laser testing, and return of the unit with supporting repair documentation. Upon completion, the device will be returned to service for operational mission use, with the exact mission application to be described by the requiring activity consistent with OPSEC and local policy. The contracting officer selected the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing that FLIR is the original equipment manufacturer and sole authorized repair source for this device. FLIR does not authorize third-party repair vendors, and use of alternative sources could void warranties and create technical and regulatory risks, including potential ITAR concerns. FLIR is identified as the only manufacturer capable of providing required testing, calibration, optical alignment, and laser testing certifications. The suggested source is Teledyne FLIR Defense, Inc., located at 25 Esquire Road, North Billerica, MA 01862 (UEI: G7WGK6L5ES76). The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination method is comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.
