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

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for the U.S. Coast Guard's procurement of jet-pumps for the HC-144 aircraft. The document justifies a sole source acquisition from COMPANIA ESPANOLA DE SISTEMAS AUTRONAUTICOS SA (CAGE code 7926B), which is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. The procurement is for four jet-pumps with NSN 4320-33-001-2564, with a specific part number CA78300-0001.

The justification cites unique characteristics of the limited availability item, noting that operational safety and engineering requirements necessitate direct procurement from the OEM. The U.S. Coast Guard has determined that no other suppliers can provide these specific parts, and the procurement is based on the OEM's exclusive rights to technical data. The document indicates the acquisition will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) with a project/task number of HC-144, and the purchase request number is 5199-CD03. The government remains open to exploring alternative sources but currently believes only Airbus DS Military can meet the specific technical requirements for these jet-pumps.
