This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for Solicitation Number 70Z03825QH0000002 to procure a wiring harness for the HC-130J aircraft. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) intends to sole source this procurement to GE Aviation Systems LLC under the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Basic Order Agreement SPE4A1-19-G-0016. The USCG has determined that GE Aviation Systems LLC is the only manufacturer capable of providing the wiring harness that meets the critical operational and reliability requirements for the Rolls Royce engine on the C-130 aircraft. The procurement is unrestricted, with no small business set-aside. The USCG desires early deliveries, and award will be made upon determination of fair and reasonable pricing.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED. AND THE INTENDED USE.

ALC LRS intends to procure these item(s) on a Brand Name basis. The requirement for these item(s) is used on the HC-130J aircraft. These item(s) are required for replacement during routine maintenance because of failures/corrosion/damage.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED.

This wiring harness is a part of the Rolls Royce engine for the C130 made to interconnect prop components to the QEC. It is specifically designed, and manufactured for the Rolls Royce engine to meet requirements set by the USCG to support the C130 Aircraft. The USCG engineering department has determined the OEM to be the only manufacturer suitable for this particular wiring harness. Subsequently, no other harness will meet the requirements necessary to support the engine

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL

SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Extensive market research was conducted using both Government and commercial sources. This included querying the following information systems and web sites: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Federal Logistics Data; DLA FedMall; the General Services Administration's (GSA) online purchasing service- GSA Advantage®; Inventory Locator Service a-marketplace (ILSmart); internet search engines.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

This specific vendor is the OEM of this harness and therefore the sole source deemed acceptable by the USCG.

JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION -

70Z03825QH0000002

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as "This company has made its mark: "This company is recognized as industry's best: and "This company is the leader in .. ." is unacceptable.

I EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

These item(s) that are to be manufactured are complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements, the achievement of which require unique production techniques and extensive and/or sophisticated testing.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Due to the specifically of the harness, and its uniqueness lo the rolls Royce engine used in the C130, the USCG will not solicitt this part to be manufactured by any other vendors al this time.
