IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING OFFICE, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A “JUSTIFICATION

FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.” PLEASE CITE THE AUTHORITY AND TYPE OF JUSTIFICATION. The United States

Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Short Range Recovery (SRR) Division has a requirement to purchase parts on a brand name basis utilized on the MH-65E helicopter. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1); FAR 6.302-1.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. This procurement is for the following parts to be utilized on the MH-65E helicopter: Four (04) Heated Windshields LH (P/N: 366A25-0042-004), Four (04)

Heated Windshields RH (P/N: 366A25-0042-005), Six (06) Panel Upper LH (P/N: 366A25-0045-32), Four (04) Window

Assy Upper (P/N: 366A25-0041-00) and Fourteen (14) Panel Upper RH (P/N: 366A25-0045-05)

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN

BE USED. These parts are used on the MH65 aircraft and are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts. It is referenced in the 1H-65D Illustrated Part Catalog (IPC) and no alternate part numbers are prodiede per the OPC of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) website. No alternate part numbers are authorized for use in lieu of these components as per the OEM’s maintenance manuals or SRR Engineering and Tech Services. The technical data required for acquisition by other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or an OEM approved source is not available.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS

PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). The parts to be procured under this acquisition are highly specialized flight critical parts designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity. The technical data required for acquisition by other than the OEM or an OEM approved source is not available. The solicitation and resulting purchase order will require the material delivered to have clear, documented tractability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance IAW FAR clause 52.246-15, Certificate of Conformance, which will be incorporated. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be advertised on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website and IAW FAR 5.207(c)(16)(i).

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. The parts on the schedule must be manufactured by the OEM in order to maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft and ensure complete compatibility of replacement parts. The USCG neither compromises nor makes exceptions in matters of human safety and protection of Government property and does not accept lower standards in these matters. All parts must be new and must be traceable to the OEM. Use of the OEM parts will ensure the parts are manufactured in accordance with OEM specifications and standards, conform to the original form, fit, and function, and are compatible and interchangeable with existing components.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. The required specifications of suitable alternate parts would not be sufficient for equipment selection. After receiving responses from the solicitation, an initial test and evaluation would have to be completed on the aircraft to ensure compatibility. It would not be cost or time effective to test multiple parts from manufacturers due to time restraints of Coast Guard Air Station testing procedures.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

December 2015

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION

BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. The OEM owns the proprietary data rights, specifications and drawings to these items which have limited the USCG’s ability to provide adequate technical descriptions to potential new manufacturers. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to foster competition as the manufacturing, performance, and acceptance data are proprietary to the OEM.
