Attachment 2 - Redacted Justification for other than full and open.pdf

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

The Coast Guard (ESD) seeks to purchase 25 Carrying Case units (Model LRU25, Part Number 70224-101) on a brand name basis directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, Air Cruiser Company, LLC (CAGE Code: 70167), located at 1747 State Township, New Jersey 07727 (UEI: FHQJU6JV3G67). The LRU25 carrying case is a specialized component used on all rotary airframes to hold the raft in place during flight. The justification is based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" authority under FAR 12.102(a), specifically citing that the item is unavailable from required or optional sources under FAR 8.002. The rationale establishes that these items are highly specialized and specifically designed by Air Cruiser Company, with technical data, specifications, and drawings owned exclusively by the OEM. The Government does not own or possess the technical rights necessary to develop an adequate purchase description or reverse engineer the item. The document indicates that a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to www.sam.gov, allowing responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration by the agency.
