Redacted J A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for the United States Coast Guard's procurement of spare parts for the HC-144 aircraft. The document details a sole source acquisition from Airbus Defense and Space SAU for specific aircraft components, including hinge assemblies, counterweights, windshields, and bushings. The procurement is based on the unique technical characteristics and engineering data required for these parts, with Airbus being the only source capable of providing the necessary components for aircraft maintenance.

The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority for a single source procurement, specifically for an item where only one source can satisfactorily meet the agency's requirements. The acquisition involves multiple NSN part numbers, with quantities ranging from 3 to 8 units per part type. The document indicates that the parts are critical for Product Depot Maintenance and are unique to the specific aircraft configuration. The procurement process allows for potential vendors with relevant capabilities to submit information within 10 calendar days, though the government anticipates awarding a sole source purchase order to Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc.
