The purchase was made using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP).
Scope of Work
This one-time buy procures Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Evolution Trailer Technologies, Inc. trailer parts.

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOTFOC)
The award was made on a sole-source basis because Evolution Trailer Technologies, Inc. is the only available source for these specific OEM parts. The USCG does not possess the technical data package required for full and open competition, and data rights were not acquired during the initial design. Market research confirmed no alternative suppliers of compatible parts, and the OEM declined to sell data rights or support third-party distributors. The OEM is a Small Business.
Additional Notes
This acquisition utilized Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) in accordance with Executive Order 14156, which declared a National Emergency at the Southern Border. This allowed for an increased Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) of up to $1 million for acquisitions with a "clear and direct relationship" to contingency operations, as per ALCOAST 143/25 and acquisition.gov. Fair and reasonable pricing was determined through market research and comparison to an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
