Attachment 3-Redacted Justification and Approval for Other than Full and Open Competition-70Z03826QH0000006.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The procurement request is for the purchase of 2 Butterfly Valves (P/N: 396308-4-2, 4 (ea)) and 2 Valves (P/N: 396308-4-1) with no optional quantity, to be installed on an HC-130J Aircraft. The justification is based on the "Brand Name" procurement type, specifically citing Honeywell Aerospace (59364) as the original equipment manufacturer with unique technical specifications that cannot be met by other manufacturers.

The suggested source is S3 Aerospace LLC in Milwaukee, WI, with the contract determination method including market research and comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases. The rationale emphasizes that Honeywell Aerospace is the original equipment manufacturer with proprietary technical data, CSTO 1C-130J-4 specifications, and USCG Engineering requirements that make them the sole acceptable vendor for these specific valve components.
