This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 13.106-1(b).

The Coast Guard (ESD) is procuring one Adapter, Prop Balancer (Part Number 7A071) on a sole source basis directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer, GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC (CAGE Code: 93366), located at 114 Powers CT #7 Sterling Virginia 20166 (UEI: ZFPKQ7L6T884). The adapter is used to connect an attached propeller to the propeller balancer machine for maintenance of the C130J aircraft. The justification cites 13.106-1(b)(1) authority for "Only One Source Reasonably Available" based on the item being highly specialized, specifically designed and manufactured by GE AVIATION SYSTEMS as the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The Government does not own the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to develop an adequate purchase description, nor does it plan to reverse engineer the item. The Government has determined it would be uneconomical to obtain these rights or develop the technical data independently. The items are not available from required or optional sources of supply under FAR 8.002. A combined synopsis/solicitation will be posted to the Contract Opportunities section at www.sam.gov, and all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation for consideration. The fair and reasonable price determination method selected is "Comparison with Similar Items in a Related Industry." The document was last updated on November 1, 2024.
