This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement request number is 2026036-NF01, and the justification authority is FAR 12.102(a) for a single source acquisition based on only one source being reasonably available. The acquisition involves the repair of a C-27J aircraft SEAT OBSERVER, with National Stock Numbers 1680-01-HS3-3827 and 1680-99-727-6832, and associated parts requiring placement in ALC Ready-For-Issue inventory for future installation on USCG aircraft. The suggested source is IPECO INC., located in Torrance, California (DUNS: 025414), identified as the sole authorized Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) repair facility and cage code 5Z814. The justification rationale emphasizes that these aircraft-specific items are unique to the C-27J, and IPECO INC. owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair and overhaul. The document notes that purchasing technical data from sources other than the OEM is uneconomical and that no other OEM-approved sources are available. For price reasonableness determination, the contracting officer has not indicated selection of specific evaluation methods, leaving the fair and reasonable pricing methodology to be determined through other means.
