Attachment 2- Redacted JA.pdf

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

The procurement (Request Number 5329-CB02) seeks to purchase 500 EA BOLT P/N CA18112-1TS NSN 5325-33-001-2545 for HC-144 aircraft parts. The items will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG aircraft. The justification cites "Only One Source Reasonably Available" as the basis for sole-source procurement, with the suggested source being HOWMET 3990A Heritage Oak Court in Simi Valley, California (UEI: 06950). The rationale indicates that this service is procurable only from the original equipment manufacturer, Howmet (06950), as the OEM owns proprietary technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. These parts are available only from the OEM or OEM-approved distributors. The contracting officer's fair and reasonable price determination method is identified as Market Research.
