Summary of U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a justification for restricting competition for commercial products and services under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is justifying a single-source procurement from Safran Electronics & Defense, Avionics USA, LLC (CAGE Code: 003T0) based on the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing that the contractor owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required to perform evaluation and calibration services.

The procurement is for Test Set, ACT/TRIM/F (Part Number 418-65037-004) used for test, setup, and maintenance of MH-65 series Actuators and Trim/Feel units, which are flight-critical safety items. The initial quantity is three units with an optional quantity of ten units. The USCG intends to include an addendum to FAR 52.212-4 allowing E&C of additional units up to the maximum optional quantity at the same price, terms, and conditions, with the Contracting Officer retaining discretion to exercise this option within one year of award or another mutually agreed-upon date. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchase prices, review of current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries. The justification notes these services are not available from mandatory government sources or other non-mandatory sources, and a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to www.sam.gov for all responsible sources to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations.
