U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a justification for sole source procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21. The U.S. Coast Guard seeks approval to award a sole source order for the repair of one Control Panel, Electrical (P/N: 712940-1) with an optional quantity of two additional units. The material is installed on HC-130J aircraft. The contracting officer has selected the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing urgency, exclusive licensing, and industrial mobilization as the basis for restricting competition.

The suggested source is GE Aviation Systems, located at 1000 MacArthur Memorial Highway, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779 (Cage: 19623). The justification rationale indicates that GE Aviation Systems is the original equipment manufacturer and currently the only acceptable source capable of repairing the Control Panel Electrical component. GE possesses the exclusive technical data, specifications, and drawings required to meet U.S. Coast Guard Engineering requirements. The contracting officer has selected three methods for ensuring fair and reasonable pricing: market research, comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, and current price list review. No response date, award date, or specific pricing terms are identified in this justification document.
