Attachment 5 - Redacted Justification - 70Z03826QH0000106.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard is requesting approval to award a sole source purchase order to GE Aviation Systems LLC (located in Ronkonkoma, NY; UEI: HBLRJ28LNM16; CAGE: 19623) for the repair of electrical control panels. Specifically, the requirement includes one purchase order for the repair of one electrical control panel (P/N: 712940-1) with optional quantities of an additional two panels and the repair of two multichannel components (P/N: 7128601). These materials will be installed on the H-C130J aircraft. The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the basis for the sole source award, noting that GE Aviation Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for these components and retains exclusive ownership and proprietary rights to all technical data, drawings, specifications, and manufacturing information required for certified repairs. The Coast Guard does not possess the necessary technical data rights to perform these repairs independently. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, and current price lists.
