Attachment B - Redacted Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition.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 seeks to procure Nose Wheel ASSY parts (P/N: 5014041, NSN: 1630-01-522-6894) in a quantity of four units on a sole source basis from Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (UEI: GNCCDKLN2GD3), located at 1204 Massillon Road, Akron, OH 44306-4188. These components are used on the C27J aircraft and are replaced during scheduled inspections due to corrosion and damage. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the Brand Name criterion, as these parts are unique to the C27J aircraft and are manufactured exclusively by Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems as the OEM. The parts' form, fit, and function are aircraft-specific, and alternative sources cannot meet the Coast Guard's technical requirements. Meggitt owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacturing. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through comparison of the proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases and market research analysis.
