Attachment 3- Redacted JA.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document supporting a sole-source procurement under FAR 12.102(a).

The Coast Guard seeks to procure a Data Bus Cable Set (Part Number DNT3003/1) in an initial quantity of four units for testing the 1553 wiring on the C130 aircraft. The procurement is justified as a sole-source award to S W Interconnect LLC (CAGE Code: 00HC0, located at 9221 Live Oak Ln Unit 1, Fort Worth, TX 76179), the Original Equipment Manufacturer, under the justification that only one source is available. The rationale establishes that S W Interconnect Inc. is the only OEM capable of manufacturing and distributing the Databus Cable Set with the technical data required for this specific application. The equipment was designed exclusively for C130 aircraft 1553 wiring testing, and no alternative products exist that meet the Government's requirements. S W Interconnect owns all proprietary rights to the manuals, technical data, performance specifications, and drawings necessary for manufacture and distribution, with these rights neither owned by the Government nor licensed to commercial sources. The contracting officer employed market research and current price list analysis to determine fair and reasonable pricing.
