Redacted J A.pdf

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) form for a sole source purchase from Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation. The document supports the repair of radio receiver/transceiver items (NSN 5841-01-552-3288) for the HC-27J Aircraft Maintenance Depot, specifically for testing and repairing radio components due to corrosion and damages. The justification is based on unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, with Northrop Grumman being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only entity with the technical data, specifications, and engineering rights to repair these specific radio components.

The procurement is being conducted under Project/Task Number C27J, citing 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the legal authority for a single-source procurement. The U.S. Coast Guard has determined that due to operational safety and flight critical requirements, they cannot legally change the procurement approach and must rely on the OEM's technical data. The government has not developed alternative technical specifications and has no plans to do so. The intended acquisition method is a sole source purchase order, pending fund availability, with the closing date for this intent to award notice set for June 6, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST.
