This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for a simplified acquisition under FAR 13.106-1(b). The document justifies a sole source purchase by the US Coast Guard (USCG) for parts needed for the C27J aircraft, specifically one each of Pitot Tube (P/N: C16329/AA, NSN: 6610-14-539-7348) and one each of bushing (P/N: 28345-101, NSN: 3120-15-061-6201). These parts require replacement due to corrosion damage.

The justification cites that Leonardo S.P.A. Aerostructure Division and Thales AVS France are the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and own all technical data rights, specifications, and drawings required for manufacturing. The USCG determined through market research that only the OEM or OEM-approved distributors can provide these parts, with Leonardo SPA (Cage Code: A1512) being the OEM approved distributor. The document indicates the government cannot economically purchase OEM rights or technical data to manufacture these parts independently. The purchase request number is 2025029-ND05 with a project/task number C27J, and the document is dated January 29, 2025.
