Attachment 2- Redacted JA.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement (Request 20266223-NF02) seeks to acquire aircraft parts for C27J aircraft maintenance and installation in ALC Ready-For-Issue inventory. Specific items include 117 bolts (PN: 832-2T11101), 4 washers (PN: AIT11501-3A), 3 adapters (PN: 13727-101), 3 adapters (PN: 13131-101), 3 housing bearings (PN: 13727-101), and 3 support pins (PN: 13723-101). The justification asserts that only one source is reasonably available, citing that these items are unique to the specific aircraft and must comply with Aircraft Certification Specifications (CS) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements. LEONARDO SPA (Cage Code A1512), located in Roma, Italy, is identified as the authorized OEM facility and sole source, as it owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings necessary for procurement. The document indicates that purchasing technical rights from alternative sources would be uneconomical. The Contracting Officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through market research. This single-source acquisition is justified under FAR 12.102(a) for circumstances where only one source is reasonably available due to technical requirements and exclusive rights held by the OEM.
