Redacted J A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The solicitation is for repairing two Meteo Radar Antennas (NSN 1270-01-630-6612, P/N 803R250G01) for the HC-27J Aircraft, with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation identified as the sole source provider. The procurement is justified based on unique characteristics that limit availability to one source, specifically that the items are unique to the specific aircraft and can only be repaired using Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government has determined that no other supplier can legally provide these parts, as Northrop Grumman owns the technical rights and is the OEM. The anticipated award will be a sole source purchase order, pending fund availability, with the intent to award directly to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation.
