USCGC MAPLE Attachment-5b Work Item-020 Buoy Crane - Appleton.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b).

The justification supports a non-competitive procurement from Appleton Marine, located at 3030 E Perishing St., Appleton, WI, USA, 54911-8671 (UEI: HWL6UR28KMS6). The Coast Guard seeks qualified technical representative services for work item 20 under Dingo Guard, Appleton EB600-60-40 (Inspect and Service). The requirement includes on-site advisory services regarding the manufacturer's proprietary system information and compliance with procedures and standards during system disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. The justification authority is 13.106-1(b)(1), citing "Only One Source Reasonably Available," with an alternative authority under FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for brand name requirements. The rationale emphasizes that the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is the sole known source capable of ensuring compliance and possesses exclusive technical expertise, design specifications, testing, and quality assurance capabilities necessary for the work. The manufacturing drawings and specifications are proprietary to the OEM and have not been purchased by the Coast Guard. The procurement value exceeds the Micro-Purchase Threshold but remains under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The contracting officer did not identify any fair and reasonable price determination method as checked on the form, with the document last updated on 11/01/24.
