Attachment 3 -Redacted Justification and Approval - 70Z03826RB0000006.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for a sole source acquisition by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Short Range Recovery (SRR) Product Line, Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

The USCG intends to award a Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract to BAE Systems Land & Armaments, L.P. (Phoenix, Arizona, Cage Code 54786) for supplies related to pilot, co-pilot, and mechanic aircraft seats for the MH-65E helicopter. The contract will consist of a one-year Base Period and four one-year Option Periods, with the period of performance running from March 22, 2023 through March 21, 2026 under the previous contract (70Z03823DB2000002). The estimated total contract value is redacted. Solicitation number 70Z03826RB0000006 will be published on November 24, 2025 on SAM.gov as a combined sole source synopsis/solicitation. Funding will be provided through Operations and Support funds from Fiscal Years 2026 through 2031. The justification for sole source procurement is based on BAE being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only authorized distributor in North America for these supplies. All supplies must be manufactured to OEM specifications with documented traceability; alternative sources cannot be considered due to safety requirements and the need to maintain aircraft structural integrity. Market research was conducted from March through August 2025, including GSA Advantage, FEDMALL, and Asset Maintenance Management Information System database reviews, with no alternative sources identified. No capable sources have expressed written interest in this acquisition.
