Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QE0000005.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document from the US Coast Guard for sole source procurement of specialized ground support equipment from Lockheed Martin Aeronautical (CAGE Code: 98897). The items being procured include 3 Adapter-Assy-Intake units (PN 3404045-1), 1 Load Applicator (PN 3404093-1), and 1 Insr Extr Tool Kit (PN 3404063-1), which are specifically designed for use with the HC130J aircraft.

The justification cites authority 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for sole source procurement, as Lockheed Martin is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all technical data rights for these items. Market research was conducted through multiple government and commercial sources including DLA, FLIS, DoD EMall, GSA Advantage, and ILSmart. The document explains that developing technical data or purchasing data rights would be uneconomical, and no other sources can manufacture these items as Lockheed Martin has not licensed the technical data to other manufacturers. The J&A is dated March 8, 2023, and this procurement is part of contract 70Z03825FD0000007, which was awarded for $14,711.94 on December 18, 2024.
