Attachment 2 - Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a sole source procurement. The United States Coast Guard intends to purchase four Aircraft Maintenance Fixtures (NSN 4920-01-578-5641, Part Number DAPT70-0007) directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, GE Aviation Systems LLC, for use in removing and installing propeller assemblies on HC-144 aircraft. The acquisition is justified as the item is highly specialized, with GE Aviation Systems LLC owning all technical data, specifications, and drawings, and the government determining it would be uneconomical to develop alternative technical data or seek other sources.

The solicitation (Number 70Z03825QE0000069) is an unrestricted equipment purchase with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, anticipated to result in a firm-fixed price purchase order. Key dates include a quotation submission deadline of 4 August 2025 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of 5 August 2025. Vendors must provide clear traceability to the OEM and submit a Certificate of Conformance. The required delivery is 295 business days after receipt of order, and email quotations are preferred to be sent to the specified government contact.
