Justification and Approvals.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), submitted under FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement request (6217-CB01) seeks an initial overhaul of one nose landing gear for an HC-144 aircraft, including modification of the part from P/N CA94300-0015 (NSN 1620-01-HS2-2461) to P/N CA94300-0019 (NSN 1620-01-HS2-7459). The item will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on a USCG aircraft. The suggested source is Airbus DS Military Aircraft Inc., located at 8100 Airbus Military Drive, Mobile, AL 26608 (CAGE Code 0DAF1). The justification for a sole-source award cites that only one source is available due to proprietary rights held by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Airbus owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, and they are procurable only from the OEM or OEM-approved distributors. The contracting officer selected Market Research as the fair and reasonable price determination method.
