    Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf
    The document details a justifiable sole-source procurement by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) for the Locking Battery Switch Upgrade Kit from Atlas Devices, LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This sole-source determination is based on legal authority under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), asserting that only Atlas Devices can provide the necessary items. The specific kit is essential for modifying the Auxiliary Hoist to prevent accidental battery discharge. Extensive market research confirmed that no other sources are capable of supplying these components, as Atlas Devices retains exclusive rights to the technical data required for manufacturing. The government does not own these rights, making competition unfeasible. Additionally, the complexity and safety requirements tied to the item necessitate the use of OEM parts to maintain contract compliance. The government acknowledges the challenges in developing adequate competition pathways due to these proprietary restrictions but confirms the importance of having the appropriate equipment for safety and operational integrity on USCG’s H-60 airframe. Overall, this document underscores the necessity of sole-source purchasing in specific contexts where competition is limited by technical and contractual factors.
