3. Redacted Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for commercial products and services valued at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). The procurement request number is 6182-CB03.

The justification authorizes restricting competition based on the "Only One Source Is Available" criterion, citing that the required aircraft parts are procurable only from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Defense and Space Military Aircraft Inc., located at 8100 Airbus Military Drive, Mobile, Alabama 36608-3110 (CAGE Code 0DAF1). The initial procurement requires two each LEADING EDGE, RH P/N 35-31126-0006"A (NSN 1560-01-HS3-2510) and two each LEADING EDGE, IB RH P/N 35-12326-0004"A (NSN 1560-01-HS3-3313 HC-144) aircraft parts for placement in the ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG aircraft. The rationale for single-source justification is that these parts are proprietary to Airbus, with procedures and data protected under proprietary rights and a Proprietary Claim Certificate File, making them available only from the OEM or OEM-approved distributors. The contracting officer selected market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method.
