    Title
    Posted
    This government document provides justification for a sole-source acquisition of the MV103DG Fluxgate Compass System, which is crucial for U.S. Coast Guard operations. The total estimated cost is $55,172, exceeding the micro-purchase threshold but staying under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), indicating that only one responsible source can fulfill the agency's requirements. Emcore is identified as the exclusive supplier for this system, necessary for TCTO TF1020.0, ensuring operational capability for cutter missions. The document emphasizes that attempts were made to solicit other competitive offerings, but Emcore remains the only source due to the lack of a formal reseller or distribution network. Steps to foster competition in future acquisitions include providing a solicitation notice to allow other vendors to propose solutions that meet the requirements. Legal and procedural adherence is underscored throughout, prioritizing the justification's clarity while ensuring it aligns with government procurement standards.
    The purpose of this Statement of Work (SOW) is to procure new MV103DG Fluxgate Compass System components for the Coast Guard Cutters CGC SEQUOIA and CGC HOLLYHOCK to ensure Safe-To-Sail compliance and provide essential backup compass data. The SOW outlines the required components, which include various assemblies like the Processor Box, Junction Box, Display Assembly, and several cable assemblies, with specific part numbers identified for each. The document specifies that one unit of each part is to be shipped to the homeport of CGC SEQUOIA in Port Huron, MI, and to the ISVS PRO Baltimore for CGC HOLLYHOCK in Maryland. Contact information for relevant personnel is provided for any inquiries regarding the SOW. This procurement request reflects a critical commitment by the federal government to maintain operational readiness and navigational safety for its maritime vessels.
