Attachment 4 - Justification for Other than full and Open.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The solicitation is for portable aviation jack stands used in routine maintenance on multiple fixed wing aircraft, to be sourced directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) TRONAIR, INC. The procurement includes 10 different types of hydraulic and aircraft jacks, with quantities ranging from 6 to 12 units per type, totaling 102 items across multiple National Stock Numbers and part numbers.

The justification is based on the items being highly specialized and specifically designed by TRONAIR, who owns all technical data, specifications, and manufacturing rights. The Coast Guard determined it would be uneconomical to develop an adequate purchase description or acquire technical data rights independently. The proposed source is TRONAIR, INC. located in Swanton, OH, with a CAGE Code of 59603 and Unique Entity Identifier GYM8LAZWV73. The document notes that while service centers can perform repairs, they have limited capability for these specific items, and a combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section of SAM.gov for potential alternative sources to submit capability statements.
