    This document outlines the justification for a sole-source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for twenty Interface Units, COMM, required by the U.S. Coast Guard. It identifies that only Mercury Marine can provide these specialized units, as they possess the proprietary data and components necessary for manufacturing. The document emphasizes that the technical specifications and manufacturing details needed to create alternative products are not available to the government, limiting sources to Mercury Marine alone. Additionally, efforts to source from other vendors have been conducted but have proven unfruitful. The justification aligns with federal regulations allowing a sole-source acquisition based on unique characteristics essential for meeting agency requirements. The file also notes the intention to continue market research to mitigate barriers to future competition in acquiring similar supplies. Overall, the document serves as a formal request demonstrating the need for non-competitive purchasing due to unique technical requirements and proprietary information held by the manufacturer.
