Attachment 3 - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826RH0000001.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) document for procurement of spare parts on a sole-source basis under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1).

The Department of Homeland Security's United States Coast Guard (USCG), through its Aviation Acquisition Logistics Center (ALC), seeks to procure 326 flight-critical spare engine parts for AE2100D3 engines supporting HC-130J aircraft operations at Air Stations Sacramento and Clearwater. The sole-source award will be made to Rolls-Royce Corporation (450 South Meridian Street, Indianapolis, IN 46225, Cage Code 63005), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), under a Firm-Fixed Price contract using FAR Part 12 and Part 15 procedures. The estimated total contract value (including options) is redacted. Funding is provided through Procurement, Construction, and Improvement (PC&I) for Fiscal Year 2026. Solicitation number 70Z03826RH0000001 will be used, with the previous related procurement executed under purchase order 70Z03825PC0000263.

The justification establishes that Rolls-Royce is the only manufacturer capable of providing these parts due to proprietary ownership of all manufacturing data, specifications, and tooling that prevents reverse-engineering and introduces flight safety risks if non-certified sources are used. Extensive market research was conducted from October 2024 through November 2025, including a sources sought notice (70Z03826IH0000002) posted October 16, 2025, which received two responses: Rolls-Royce and One Source Spares (determined to be non-authorized). No alternative sources, distributors, or part numbers exist. The Contracting Officer determined anticipated prices to be fair and reasonable through comparative price analysis and Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE) review. The J&A will be posted to the GPE website and SAM.gov with an estimated posting date of April 24, 2026.
