IDENTIFICATION OF THE AGENCY AND THE CONTRACTING OFFICE, AND SPECIFIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE DOCUMENT AS A

“JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.” PLEASE CITE THE AUTHORITY AND TYPE OF

JUSTIFICATION. The United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Short Range Recovery (SRR) Product Line, intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order on a sole source basis. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 41 U.S.C. 1901(c), as implemented in FAR 13.106-1(b) (1).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. SRR intends to purchase the following part(s) on a sole source basis. These parts are used on the MH-65 aircraft and are replaced during inspection due to corrosion/damage.

Bumper, Rescue, P/N: BL7720, NSN: 1680-00-658-3224; Qty. 5ea.; Opt. Qty requested. 5ea

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES CAN BE USED. This item to be procured under this acquisition (to include its Form, Fit, and Function) are unique to a specific aircraft, and any installation, operation, or servicing must comply with the Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM), requirements and/or the USCG’s authorized engineering authority for this particular airframe. Breeze-Eastern (Cage Code: 08484) is the OEM of this part. Breeze-Eastern owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to acquire these parts from other than the

OEM or an OEM approved source are not owned by the Government, and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase these rights.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL

SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). USCG uses past procurement history and the international aviation subscription service (Inventory Locator Service or ILS®), to seek available sources of supply. All potential sources were contacted via market research to determine if they possessed all of the following criteria: (1) if not the OEM, are in legal possession of the necessary service data, (2) have true capability, and (3) can meet the required Turn-Around-Time.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. Breeze-Eastern is the OEM and own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. These parts are procurable only from the

OEM or any distributor approved by the OEM. Triman Industries (0ZBE8) is an OEM approved vendor for the requested part.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN

COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. Due to Operational Safety and/or Flight Critical Requirements, the

USCG cannot legally change the requirement for this item as it is directed by the OEM and/or the OEM’s manager of such data. Therefore, procurement processes are dictated by the OEM or an approved source of the OEM. The Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture these parts. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to manufacture these parts and has no plans to do so.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO

COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. It is not economically feasible for the Government to purchase the OEM rights, technical data, etc. to manufacture these parts. However, the USCG, ALC, SRR still continues to check maintenance and repair web-based subscription services, alternate approved systems, and industry periodicals, and also sends representatives to various aviation trade shows and conferences to seek out all possible legally achieved purchase/service options and sources.
