Attachment 1 - Redacted Justification - 70Z03826QH0000101.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document seeking approval to award a procurement order for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) using a FAR 12.102(a) Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement involves three piece parts for installation on an R391 Propeller Assembly used on HC-130J aircraft: (2) Brush Block Power Harnesses (P/N 697057228), (5) Brush Wear Harnesses (P/N 697057213), and (3) Operating Pins (P/N 697039678). The sole source for these components is G.E. Aviation Systems LLC (DBA Dowry Propellers), located at 114 Powers Ct. #7, Sterling, VA 20166-9321 (CAGE: 93366). The justification identifies G.E. Aviation Systems LLC as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole known source, as this company owns the technical data, manuals, specifications, and drawings for these components. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination method is based on market research. This justification supports restricting competition based on the "Only One Source Is Available" rationale, specifically citing that the particular brand, product, and features are essential to the Government's requirements for this HC-130J aircraft component procurement.
