REDACTED J an 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 document supports the purchase of aircraft parts for the C27J aircraft from Leonardo SPA Aerostructure Division, specifically three low pressure switches (NSN: 5930-01-HS3-0608) and one illuminated panel (NSN: 1680-15-200-8046). The justification cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority for the unique and compelling urgency of the procurement.

The procurement is intended to be a sole source award based on Leonardo SPA being the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government determined it is not economically feasible to purchase OEM rights separately, and the U.S. Coast Guard's Aircraft Logistics and Maintenance (ALC) MRS will continue to support maintenance and repair. The solicitation (Number 70Z03825QW0000105) is for the U.S. Coast Guard, with a closing date of 08/04/2025 at 4:00 pm EST, and anticipates awarding a purchase order pending fund availability.
