REDACTED J A.pdf

This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for the sole source procurement of Power Station Inverters for the US Coast Guard's C27J aircraft. The purchase request number is 2025055-NDR with project/task number C27J.

The USCG intends to purchase 2 Power Station Inverters (P/N: 1-001-0102-0084, NSN: 6130-01-282-8020) from Avionic Instruments LLC (CAGE Code: 10933), who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all technical rights and specifications. The justification cites that only the OEM can provide these parts due to proprietary technical data and engineering requirements. The USCG has determined through market research using procurement history and aviation subscription services that no other sources can legally manufacture these replacement parts, which are needed due to corrosion/damage during inspection. The document notes that while the USCG continues to monitor maintenance subscription services and attend trade shows to identify potential future sources, it is not currently economically feasible to purchase the OEM rights or develop alternative manufacturing capabilities.
