Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QE0000056.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) intends to purchase seven RDI FA2100 Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) download and decompression software licenses from L3Harris Aviation Products, Inc. on a sole source basis. The software is required to support L3Harris FA210 DFDRs installed on C-130J and C-27J aircraft, providing ground station software download and data retrieval capabilities.

The justification is based on L3Harris being the only source qualified to fulfill this requirement, as they own the proprietary data rights to the FA2100 DFDR and are the sole proprietor of the RDI download and decompression software tool. The procurement is considered an upgrade to an existing system, making it economically unfeasible to solicit other vendors. The solicitation (Number 70Z03825QE0000056) is an unrestricted requirement with a NAICS code of 541511, and all responsible sources may submit a capability statement. The closing date for offers is 2 July 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with an anticipated award date of 7 July 2025.
