V-BELT FOR ALTERNATOR/AIR CLEANER/STERN DRIVE/ANODE

Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies the U.S. Coast Guard's intent to procure specific parts using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 13.106-1(b), citing that only one source is reasonably available. The procurement is for essential replacement parts for 20' and 22' Cable (CBL) vessels.

The specific parts required are:

• Twenty (20) ANODE (P/N: 3854130; NSN: 5340-01-661-0685)

• Twenty (20) BELT, V (P/N: 22283751; NSN: 3030-01-643-7212)

• Five (5) TENSIONER PULLEY (P/N: 21424647; NSN: 3950-37-529-6079)

• Thirty-Five (35) AIR CLEANER (P/N: 21379288; NSN: 2940-27-056-0233)

• Five (5) STERN DRIVE (P/N: 22491352; NSN: 2010-01-706-4114)

• The estimated total value is not explicitly stated but falls within the SAP range (Over Micro-Purchase Threshold, but up to the SAT).

• Not applicable for this justification document.

• The justification is based on the "Brand Name" clause, indicating items peculiar to one manufacturer, where the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to the Government's requirements.

• The sole source identified is JOHNSON AND TOWERS.

• The rationale states that technical data for these parts is unavailable, and any replacement parts must conform to the JOHNSON AND TOWERS brand to ensure proper operation and avoid mission degradation. Market research indicated that other companies' similar products or products lacking the particular feature do not meet the agency's needs or cannot be modified to meet them.
