Attachment 5 - Redacted Justification - 70Z03826QH0000109.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Approval (J&A) for sole-source procurement of commercial products and services, submitted under FAR 12.102(a) with FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Coast Guard seeks authorization to award a sole-source order to CEF Industries, LLC (CAGE 00268, located at 320 Church St., Addison, IL 60101) for the repair of five Aileron Trim Tab Actuators, Part Number 8118, used on HC-130J aircraft. The actuator is a flight control component critical to aircraft aileron trim tab positioning and safe flight operations. The justification type selected is "Only One Source Is Available," citing urgency and exclusive licensing agreements. CEF Industries is identified as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only known source with proprietary technical data, specialized expertise, tooling, and OEM-approved processes necessary to satisfy the requirement. The required services can only be performed by the OEM or an OEM-authorized repair facility to ensure compliance with manufacturer specifications. For fair and reasonable price determination, the contracting officer selected market research as the primary method. The document was last updated on 03/03/2026.
