    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source procurement of twenty-five EXPANSION CONNECTORs manufactured by Boulden Company Inc. It asserts that this specialized item is essential for the 49 BUSL vessel and is only available from the OEM due to proprietary technical data restrictions. The justification highlights that no other suppliers can meet the specific requirements for performance, fit, form, and function because the reproductions of essential manufacturing drawings and data have not been acquired by the U.S. Coast Guard. Market research was conducted to identify potential vendors, confirming that no alternatives could satisfy operational and technical needs. Future efforts will continue to explore opportunities for competition by seeking additional vendors and access to necessary technical information. This procurement process adheres to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines regarding situations where competitive sourcing is limited. Ultimately, the objective is to ensure operational readiness while complying with federal procurement standards amidst proprietary constraints.
