Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Simplified Acquisition Threshold 1. Vessel: 87’ WPB 2. PR#_____________________________ 3. Description of Supplies or Services: The purchase of one hundred and two (102), Switches, Liquid Level, P/N: 43760, NSN: 5930-01-194-3442 used as part of the 87 WPB bilge level alarm system. 4. Estimated Value of Procurement: 5. Source Available: Gem Sensors Incorporated 1 Cowles Road Plainville, CT 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 Only one responsible source and no other 7. Impact Statement: Any attempt to purchase this Switch from other than the OEM or an authorized OEM distributor allows the potential of flooding to be unnoticed. This could allow flooding to be uncontrollable, cause vessel machinery or electrical damage or vessel sinking. Any of these casualties would gravely reduce the cutter’s operational effectiveness resulting in a significant increase in risk of loss of life and/or property or damage to the environment during search and rescue or maritime law enforcement operations. 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. This Switch is a proprietary commercial item of the OEM. The U.S. Coast Guard did not negotiate the purchase or unrestricted use of any technical data associated with this item when it was originally acquired for fleet applications. Accordingly, the reproduction manufacturing drawings, specifications, and tolerances/parameters needed to fabricate this item remain the sole property of the OEM. 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, however without the proprietary information needed this will be difficult.
