Redacted J A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The acquisition involves purchasing thirty (30) MLG tires for the HC-144 aircraft, with part number DR10627T, specifically from Wilkerson Company Inc. The tires are a unique, specialized component for the aircraft, and the government has determined that Wilkerson Company is the only source capable of fulfilling the requirement due to their possession of the Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) technical data, specifications, and drawing rights for DUNLOP TYRE (Cage Code U8018).

The justification highlights that the government cannot legally change the requirement, does not own or possess the technical data rights, and cannot find alternative sources. The procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) with the solicitation number 70Z03825QL0000089. The anticipated award is a sole source purchase order, pending fund availability, with a closing date of May 13, 2025. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, and involves shipping terms of F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B. Origin.
