    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). It states that the U.S. Coast Guard is seeking to purchase 165 liquid level switches exclusively from Ultra Safety Systems, Inc., as they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification emphasizes that no other vendor can meet the required specifications due to the proprietary nature of the technical data, which remains the sole property of Ultra Safety Systems. Attempts to source alternatives were made through market research; however, the unique characteristics and critical functionality of the switch necessitate sourcing solely from the OEM to avoid mission degradation. The document also notes that efforts will continue to identify potential vendors for future needs, addressing barriers to competition. Overall, this procurement justification reflects the necessity of maintaining operational integrity through adherence to original equipment standards in government contracting.
