This 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) under FAR 12.102(a).

The procurement request number is 6230-ND04, and the contracting officer is seeking to purchase aircraft spare parts on a sole source basis from Leonardo SPA (UEI: A1512) located in Piazza Monte Grappia 4, Roma, Italy. The specific parts required include Bonding Wire (P/N: N1A21151-3-6-40), Pin Latch (P/N: WAA7114G001), Marker Identification (P/N: G22), and related valve and antenna components with associated NSN and part numbers. These parts are used on the C-27J aircraft and are replaced during routine inspection and service. The justification cites that only one source is available due to the parts being unique to specific aircraft installations and operations, with the OEM and authorized engineering authorized agents for the aircraft (Leonardo SPA Aeronautics Division, GiN Aerospace Services, and Secondo Mensa SPA) being the only entities capable of manufacturing or providing these technical data. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing through market research and comparison of proposed prices with prices found reasonable on previous purchases.
