The U.S. Coast Guard intends to award a sole-source purchase order using the procedures at FAR 12.102(a), as it has been deemed that only one source is available to meet this specific requirement due to the contractor being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and retains exclusive proprietary rights to the technical data, diagnostic software algorithms, factory-authorized calibration procedures, and specialized tooling required to perform and certify the required services. These proprietary resources are necessary to diagnose faults, resolve system errors, and verify instrument accuracy in accordance with OEM standards. The Government is not aware of any other commercial source with the required access, authorization, and capability to satisfy this requirement.
