DISPLAY OPTOELECTRONIC

Other / Unclassified

This document is the "Packaging and Marking Guide For DoD" published by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in March 2014. It serves as an informational guide for familiarization purposes and is not intended to replace contractual requirements, specifications, or regulations. The guide compiles information from various government packaging documents and technical manuals for instructional use.

This guide is relevant to bidders as it outlines where packaging and marking requirements are typically located within solicitations and contracts (e.g., Section D - Packaging & Marking, Section J - Attachments). It details various military packaging and preservation methods (e.g., MIL-STD-2073-1E, ASTM D-3951), hazardous materials packaging, labeling requirements (including bar codes and RFID), and special markings. Understanding these requirements is crucial for bidders to accurately prepare proposals and ensure compliance with contract deliverables, especially for items requiring specific preservation, packing, and marking standards for shipment and storage.

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies restricting competition for the purchase of twelve (12) Display Optoelectronic units (NSN: 5980-01-609-7348, P/N: 006748) at an estimated unit cost of $2,787.00 each, for a total estimated value of $33,444.00. These components are required for the repair and restoration of existing Vacuum Tank & Sewage Holding Collection Tanks on 270' WMEC Class Cutters. The displays are programmed for PLC control of these tanks.

• Twelve (12) Display Optoelectronic units.

• NSN: 5980-01-609-7348

• Part Number: 006748

• Must be compatible with existing Vacuum Tank & Sewage Holding Collection Tank systems for PLC Control.

• Estimated Total Value: $33,444.00

• Authority: FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

• Justification Type: Only One Source Is Available (Brand Name - Items peculiar to one manufacturer).

• Not applicable to this justification document.

• Not applicable to this justification document.

• The suggested source is Technical Marine Service, Inc., the OEM of the Computer Subassemblies.

• The rationale for restricting competition is based on the inability to confirm that alternative parts would interface correctly or operate effectively with the Coast Guard Cutters. Failure of a non-conforming part could cause damage or endanger personnel. The specific part is required for configuration management as it is listed in APL 500U8R10A1, 2, 3 for the 270 class cutters.

• Fair and Reasonable Price Determination Methods are listed, with "Market Research" and "Comparison of Proposed Price with Prices Found Reasonable on Previous Purchases" being checked.
