This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a).

The requisition number is 5335-NB02, and the procurement seeks an initial replacement of five EA CONVERTER, LIQUID 02 units (P/N 10C-0016-16, NSN 1660-01-179-4064) for C27J aircraft parts. The items will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG Aircraft. The sole source justification is based on brand name requirements, as the particular brand and specifications are essential to government requirements and market research indicates other companies' similar products lack the necessary features or cannot be modified to meet agency needs. The suggested source is Essex Industries Inc., located at 8007 Chivvis Dr, Saint Louis, MO 63123 (CAGE Code 19062). The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) owns proprietary technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, making them procurable only from the OEM or OEM-approved distributors. The document does not specify pricing terms, response dates, or award dates. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through one of several available methods, though none are checked in the document.
