Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QE0000075.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The Coast Guard intends to purchase a Wing Safety Support device (Part Number 0892.50) directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, AIRBUS DS MILITARY AIRCRAFT, INC. The Wing Safety Support is a critical safety device used under each wing when an aircraft is lifted on jacks or when an engine is removed from the aircraft. The procurement is being conducted on a sole-source basis under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for "Only One Source Reasonably Available."

The justification highlights that the item is highly specialized, specifically designed and manufactured by Airbus, who owns all technical data rights. The company is the sole source for this component, and the government has determined it would be uneconomical to develop alternative technical data or seek other sources. The document indicates that any interested sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration, and the contracting officer has checked "Comparison with Similar Items in a Related Industry" as part of the fair and reasonable price determination method.
