Attachment 4 - Redacted Justification and Approval - 70Z03826QB0000049.PDF

This is a Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition document for a sole-source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Afloat Logistics Center (ALC), Ship Repair and Logistics (SRR) Division.

The procurement seeks repair services for Generator Control Units (GCUs) on MH-65E Aircraft from Consolidated Aircraft Supply Co., Inc. (Cage Code 8M168, located at 55 Raynor Ave, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779-6649). The contract type is Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery with a one-year base period and four optional one-year periods, funded through Operations and Support funds for Fiscal Year 2026. The estimated total contract value including all options is $644,358, with individual period values redacted in the submission. Solicitation number is 70Z03826QB0000049, with an estimated publication date of April 2026. The requirement covers repair services to support all USCG aviation units and the Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) program as the Aviation Inventory Control Point (AICP).

The justification for sole-source award to Consolidated Aircraft Supply Co., Inc. is based on the company's exclusive ownership of OEM Phoenix Aerospace Inc.'s proprietary repair data and Commercial Maintenance Manuals (CMMs). Phoenix Aerospace, the original equipment manufacturer, closed permanently in March 2022, at which point Consolidated Aircraft acquired all proprietary data rights. The USCG emphasizes that safety of flight is paramount and cannot be compromised; repairs must maintain structural integrity of the aircraft and comply with OEM specifications with clear, documented traceability to the approved repair facility. Market research conducted from March 2022 through September 2025 confirmed Consolidated Aircraft is the sole owner of necessary OEM proprietary information and the only authorized repair facility in North America, with no capable competing sources identified.
