    The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures for the purchase of flexible couplings and drive shaft kits for 45’ RBM assets. The justification cites “Brand Name” as the authority, specifically FAR 5.102(a)(6), FAR 11.105, and FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), because the required parts are peculiar to one manufacturer. Market research indicated that similar products from other companies would not meet the agency’s needs. Norfolk Bearings & Supply Co. (UEI: CALHXML8LFM6) is the sole suggested source, as these parts are manufactured by them, and technical data for alternative parts is unavailable. Any attempt to use non-conforming parts could lead to major mission degradation. The contracting officer determined the price to be fair and reasonable through market research, comparison with previous purchases, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
