Attachment 3 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825RJ0000004.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for other than full and open competition for solicitation 70Z03825RJ0000004, which justifies awarding a sole-source contract to L3Harris Aviation Products, Inc. for Electronic Standby Instrument System (ESIS) GH-4001 displays for MH-60T aircraft. The Department of Homeland Security, US Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center intends to award an Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract with a one-year base period and four one-year options, using Operations and Support funds for FY2025-2030.

The contract will procure 60 ESIS units per year (300 total) through Firm-Fixed Price delivery orders. L3Harris is justified as the sole source because they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proprietary data rights, and the ESIS provides critical backup flight instruments if the primary avionics fail. A prototype was previously awarded and tested successfully in August 2023. The J&A will be posted to SAM.gov on 2/17/2025. Market research conducted from July 2024 through January 2025 confirmed no other viable sources exist. The ESIS is essential for Coast Guard missions including search and rescue, law enforcement, and marine environmental protection.
