• Locations of Packaging Requirements in Solicitations & Contracts: Identifies where packaging and marking requirements are typically found within solicitation and contract documents (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section F - Deliveries or Performance, Section J - Attachments).
• Hazardous Materials Packaging: Specifies modal regulations (Land, Water, Air) and marking requirements (MIL-STD-129) for hazardous materials.
• Commercial Packaging (ASTM D-3951): Details when commercial packaging may be appropriate and its associated marking requirements (IAW MIL-STD-129).
• Military Packaging (MIL-STD-2073-1E): Outlines standard practices for military packaging, including various preservation methods (e.g., physical protection, preservative coating, waterproof protection) and packing levels (Level A, Level B, Minimal).
• Packaging Requirement Codes (PRC): Explains the coding system used to specify packaging requirements.
• Quality Assurance Provisions: Details preservation and packing inspection procedures, including leakage and heat-sealed seam tests.
• Package Markings: Describes the types of markings required, including identification, bar code, address, and special markings (e.g., hazardous materials, fragile, shelf-life).

Solicitation / Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the procurement of specific Hot Water/Cold Water Fan Coil Units (NSN 4140-01-598-1830, P/N: 2W-18-5604F) for the repair and restoration of systems onboard 270' WMEC Class Cutters. The procurement is for 8 units with an estimated total value of $3,961.00.

• Procurement of 8 each Hot Water/Cold Water Fan Coil Units.

• Units must have a 304 Stainless Steel (SST) Casing and 0.016" Fins.

• The specific coil is identified as 18566C001 SS Casing and Housing.

• This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedure (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b).

• Estimated Total Value: $3,961.00.

• This document serves as a justification for other than full and open competition, citing "Brand Name" as the reason.

• The government has not purchased proprietary data rights for the part, making it difficult to ensure alternative parts will interface or operate correctly.

• Market research indicates Leonardo DRS (Marlo Coil) is the sole source supplier and manufacturer, being the OEM for these custom-built, specific Naval application fan coil assemblies.

• This justification is for other than full and open competition, not a set-aside.

• The Contracting Officer's personal knowledge and market research support this justification.

• The COR will continue market research to identify other potential vendors, but obtaining full and open competition is expected to be difficult without proprietary technical data.
