TAB 4 J A_Redacted.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), submitted under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

The Coast Guard intends to procure two replacement valve and anti-surge parts (P/N: 4951462, NSN: 4810-01-522-6178, Qty: 2 EA) for the C27J aircraft on a sole source basis. These parts are used on the aircraft and are replaced during inspection due to corrosion and damage. The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the authority, noting that the items are unique to the specific aircraft and any installation, operation, or servicing must comply with Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM) requirements and the USCG's authorized engineering authority for the particular airframe. RTX Corporation (25820) is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and owner of all rights to technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, and RTX Corporation (52661) is identified as the OEM-approved distributor. The contracting officer determined it uneconomical to purchase these parts from sources other than the OEM or OEM-approved sources. The suggested source is RTX Corporation, located at 400 Main St, East Hartford, Connecticut, 06118 (UEI: QN1BCF7/JDI5). Fair and reasonable price determination methods selected include market research and comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.
