Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Simplified Acquisition Threshold 1. Vessel: 154’ WPC 2. PR#_____________________________ 3. Description of Supplies or Services: A.

Source Available: Name: Gems Sensors Incorporated (OEM) Address: 1 Cowles Road Plainville, Connecticut 06062 6. Pursuant to FAR Subpart 13.106-1 (b), the Contracting Officer may solicit from one source if they determine that the circumstances of contract action deem only one source reasonably available: Check the appropriate reason below: _X_ Brand Name Mandatory 7. Impact Statement (describe the impact on the mission or property) These Liquid Level Switches are for the FRC’s Storage Tanks. Since the technical information required in making a fair and reasonable assessment of these Liquid Level Switches are unavailable, the OEM is the only contractor that can guarantee interchangeability. Therefore, we must rely solely upon the OEM or an authorized OEM distributor to satisfy the current acquisition need. Any attempt to purchase this item using other than OEM parts and without access to OEM reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, repair tolerances/parameters, test procedures and other relevant information could cause equipment failure and subsequent failure to meet unit mission requirements. 8. Explain why an adequate purchase description or other information suitable to solicit by Full and Open Competition has not been developed or are not suitable. Gems Sensors Incorporated is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the listed items used on the 154’ WPC Coast Guard vessels. The reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications and other technical data have not been purchased and is proprietary. The material, manufacturing processes and technical data of the listed items are proprietary to the OEM and not for sale as was requested by the Coast Guard. Gems Sensors Incorporated is the only Contractor that can guarantee interchangeability, compatibility, function and size requirements of the listed items. Vendors other than OEM shall provide documentation certifying the listed items meet OEM specifications and standards and they pertain to the 154’ WPC Coastal Patrol Vessels. 9. Provide a Statement of Actions, if any, the government may take to remove or overcome any barriers to competition before future acquisitions are required. COR will continue to conduct market research with a focus on locating vendors with the required specialized capabilities needed for this type of work.
