    The document outlines a federal procurement requirement for the supply of MEPS 10kW Generators and 8kW ACUs for the US Coast Guard (USCG), specifically for the 45’ RB-M platforms. A follow-on contract, valued at approximately $7.3 million, is in progress, but due to parts shortages, a One-Time Definitive Contract is recommended to ensure timely acquisition of these essential OEM components. Mobile Electric Power Solutions (MEPS) in Garland, TX, is identified as the sole source provider, with existing limitations on the availability of technical data preventing competitive solicitation of non-OEM alternatives. Despite efforts to gauge interest from other suppliers, including a Notice of Intent, no responses were received. The contract officer deems the anticipated costs fair based on historical pricing and independent estimates. The document emphasizes the critical nature of these parts to maintain USCG operational readiness and highlights ongoing attempts to encourage competition by requesting technical data rights from MEPS, which were declined. The justification for other than full and open competition is supported by statutory authorities and market research confirming MEPS as the only viable source.
