Attachment 4 Redacted Justification for Other then Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The USCG Aviation Logistic Center (ALC), Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) Division seeks to procure repair services for Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) and components for the HC-27J aircraft fleet from RTX Corporation (Pratt and Whitney Division), the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The solicitation number is 70Z03825QW000044, with a base year and four option years, each lasting 12 months, funded through Operations and Support funds for Fiscal Year 2025.

The procurement is a sole source contract due to the proprietary nature of the technical data and repair services. Pratt and Whitney is the only OEM authorized to provide repair services for these specialized aircraft components, and the USCG lacks the technical data to enable competition. The parts to be repaired include APUs, valves, fuel control assemblies, and FADEC components. A sources sought notice was posted on SAM.gov on February 3, 2025, with no responses received. The USCG argues that failure to approve this sole source justification could jeopardize mission performance by potentially grounding aircraft due to insufficient component availability.
