Attachment 1 - Redacted JandA - 70Z03826RJ0000004.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for a contract modification to procure T700-401D Engines for the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

The USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line is modifying contract 70Z03824DJ0000013 with General Electric Company (GE), located at 1000 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA 01910-1910 (Cage Code 99207), to increase the contract value for an additional 41 T700-401D Engines and associated shipping/storage containers. The modification is a Firm Fixed-Price (FFP) contract amendment against an existing Indefinite Delivery Requirements type contract. The engines are required to outfit the USCG MH-60T aircraft with the latest design/drawing revision and support the unanticipated requirement to upgrade the entire current MH-60T aircraft fleet. Funding is provided through Operations and Support funds and Procurement, Construction and Improvement funds for Fiscal Year 2026. The contract is currently in Option Period One with three remaining option periods, with performance scheduled from 09/17/2025 through 09/16/2026. The justification asserts that GE is the sole design authority and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the T700-401D Engines, with proprietary specifications and manufacturing data that prohibit resale to other sources. The engines are classified as Flight Critical Safety Items (CSI) components essential to maintaining aircraft airworthiness and personnel safety. The document confirms that no alternative sources exist and that competition is not practicable due to technical data unavailability and the critical nature of the component. The J&A will be made publicly available on SAM.gov with notice of intent to increase the contract ceiling within 14 days of approval.
