About this file
This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for restricting competition under FAR 12.102(a).
The procurement involves the installation of SIPRGuard Safe and Biometrics to support the deployment of SIPRNet hardware at AIRSTA Port Angeles, with SIPRGuard capability enabling SIPRNet hardware deployment outside a classified work space. The estimated total contract value is $31,656.00. The Coast Guard has justified restricting competition to a single source, Trusted Systems Inc. (2920 Dede Road, Suite A, Finksburg, MD 21048; UEI: HFDXVMRW2NX8), based on the determination that only one source is reasonably available. The rationale states that Trusted Systems provides approved GSA Class 5 safe biometric capabilities required to meet USCG Cyber and Tempest requirements for the SIPRGuard program, which is a Department of War program that the USCG recently approved for deployment. Trusted Systems is identified as the sole source that the DoW leverages to deploy this capability. The contracting officer used comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) as the fair and reasonable price determination method. The Technical and Requirements Point of Contact, Milne Benjamin Morrison, signed the justification on 16 June 2026, and Contracting Officer Patrick K.R. Gittings digitally signed on 03 August 2026.
