Attachment B- Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the purchase of specific aircraft parts for the HC-144 aircraft. The procurement is for parts from General Electric Company (Cage Code: 99207) as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), with a Project/Task Number C144. The acquisition is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) using 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), which allows for a sole source procurement when only one source is reasonably available.

The unique characteristics limiting the procurement to a single source include specific technical requirements for a specific aircraft, with the parts being critical to General Electric Electric's design and only obtainable from the OEM or an OEM-approved source. The government has determined that it is uneconomical to develop an alternative purchase method, and no adequate purchase description or alternative sources exist. The USCG continues to explore maintenance and repair options, including web-based subscription services and alternative approved systems, to potentially expand future procurement possibilities.
