REDACTED J AN A.pdf

This is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) form documenting a sole source justification for Purchase Request number 5049-NB02, Project/Task C27J. The requirement is for the overhaul of 1 EA CYLINDER ASSY, HYDRA P/N 100-A1003-01 NSN 1620-15-199-1866 for C27J aircraft parts, which will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future installation on USCG Aircraft.

LEONARDO SPA (CAGE code A1512) is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole source provider, as they own the rights to the technical data, specifications and drawings required to manufacture the parts. The US Coast Guard completed market research through procurement history review and aviation subscription services (ILS®) to verify no other sources are available. The form indicates that due to operational safety and flight critical requirements, the USCG cannot change the procurement requirements set by the OEM. While the government continues to explore procurement options through trade shows and conferences, the technical data rights remain with the OEM, making LEONARDO SPA the only viable source for this procurement.
