Attachment 4- Redacted Justification or Other than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Field Service Representative (FSR) Services for the US Coast Guard (USCG). The solicitation (70Z03825QL0000031) seeks a sole source contract with General Electric Aviation (GE) for FSR support on CT7-9C3, T700-401C, and T700-401D turbo shaft engines and Propeller Gear Boxes (PGB) used on HC-144 and MH-60 aircraft. The contract will have a base year from 01/01/2026-12/31/2026 with four additional one-year option periods through 12/31/2030, totaling a five-year contract duration.

The justification emphasizes that GE is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only source capable of providing the precise technical expertise required, including access to proprietary design information, drawings, specifications, service bulletins, manuals, and repair/overhaul procedures. A sources sought notice revealed only one response from Ozell Services Inc., which lacked the necessary technical expertise and access to proprietary data. The USCG will use Operations and Support funds (O&S) for this Firm Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery Requirements contract, with the total contract value to be determined during the procurement process.
