Attachment 3- Redacted JA.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JUSTIFICATION) for a simplified acquisition procedure. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) intends to evaluate/repair ICS Central Switch components with specific part numbers, which are unique to a specific aircraft and require OEM technical data and repair rights. The project/task number is C27J, and the acquisition is being pursued under 10 U.S.C. § 320(a)(1) for only responsible source procurement.

SCI Technology is identified as the only source capable of providing these supplies or services, as they own the technical data, specifications, and drawing requirements for repair of these parts. The procurement is driven by Operational Safety and Flight Critical Requirements, with the USCG unable to develop the technical data or manufacture the parts independently. The document outlines efforts to ensure market research was conducted, including contacting potential sources and determining the unique characteristics that limit availability to a single source. The justification is dated March 8, 2023, and seeks to enable the procurement of critical maintenance and repair components for aircraft systems.
