JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION

SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION PROCEDURES (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b)

SOLICITATIONS MAY BE LIMITED TO ONE SOURCE ONLY IF THE CONTRACTING OFFICER DETERMINES THAT ONLY ONE SOURCE IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. THIS DETERMINATION MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH FULL JUSTIFICATION FOR SOLE SOURCE FROM THE CUSTOMER. WHEN THE CUSTOMER DESCRIBES AN ITEM WITH A PURCHASE DESCRIPTION WHICH LIMITS THE AVAILABILITY TO ONE SOURCE, THE JUSTIFICATION MUST EXPLAIN WHY THE ITEM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WILL MEET THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENT. STATEMENTS SUCH AS "ONLY KNOWN SOURCE" OR "ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN MEET THE REQUIRED DELIVERY DATE" ARE INADEQUATE TO SUPPORT A SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE. Do not use marketing language in this document. Language such as “This company has made its mark,” “This company is recognized as industry’s best,” and “This company is the leader in…” is unacceptable.

IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING OFFICE, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A “JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.” PLEASE CITE THE AUTHORITY

AND TYPE OF JUSTIFICATION.

The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Recovery

(MRR) Product Line intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 1901(c), as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b) (1).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE.

ALC MRR intends to overhaul the following item(s) as a sole source requirement. This requirement is for item(s) used on the MH-60T aircraft. These item(s) are required for replacement during routine maintenance because of failures/corrosion/damage.

Quantity Description NSN Part Number

2 each Strut, Aircraft 1560-01-376-7972 2114A-100

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER

SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED.

The Naval Supply Weapons Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) is the Primary Inventory Control Agency and has sole authority and responsibility to certify overhaul commercial sources. Goodrich Corporation

(Cage Code 1RYZ3) is the only NAVSUP WSS approved overhaul source. Therefore, the Government is limited in their ability to foster competition. These item(s) that are to be overhauled under this acquisition are highly specialized item(s) that has been designed and manufactured by Goodrich Corporation. As the

Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this component, Goodrich Corporation owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for its overhaul. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to overhaul these item(s) from other than the OEM or an OEM approved source are not owned by the Government and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase these rights.

These item(s) are the only ones approved by the USCG’s Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY

POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE).

Extensive market research was conducted using both Government and commercial sources. This included querying the following information systems and web sites: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Federal

Logistics Information Service (WebFLIS); FedMall; the General Services Administration’s (GSA) online purchasing service – GSA Advantage®; Inventory Locator Service e-marketplace (ILSmart); internet search engines; and the OEM’s web site. This item is not available from any required or optional source of supply in accordance with (IAW) FAR 8.002. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the

Sam.gov web site at www.sam.gov IAW FAR 5.101(a)(1). The OEM will be notified of this posting to www.sam.gov.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES.

Goodrich Corporation owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to overhaul these item(s). Goodrich Corporation is the only commercial vendor authorized to complete the overhaul requirement. The USCG does not own nor can it obtain the technical data to overhaul these item(s). The USCG is conducting a sole source acquisition.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL

AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

These item(s) that are to be overhauled are complex and must meet critical operational and reliability requirements, the achievement of which require unique production techniques and extensive and/or sophisticated testing. The Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture or overhaul these item(s) and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase them. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to overhaul these item(s) and has no plans to do so.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY

BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED.

As previously stated, the Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications and drawings required to manufacture or overhaul these item(s) which has prevented the

USCG from being able to provide an adequate technical description to potential new sources. Therefore, it is difficult to take steps to overcome the sole source barrier to foster competition when the manufacturing, performance, overhaul, and acceptance data are proprietary to Goodrich Corporation.
