This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source acquisition. The U.S. Coast Guard intends to purchase repair services for three Generator Alternators (NSN 6115-14-566-8422) for the HC-27J Aircraft from Safran Power USA, LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification is based on unique characteristics that limit availability to only one source, specifically Safran Electrical & Power Chatou SAS, which owns the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to repair these specific aircraft components. The government cannot legally change the required configuration data or manufacture the parts, making Safran Power USA the sole qualified source for this technical maintenance requirement.

The solicitation (70Z03825QW0000056) is structured as a Special Notice of Intent to Award, with a closing date of March 24, 2025. Vendors must be FAA 145 certified and perform at least 50% of work at their certified facility. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 488190 with a small business size standard of $40 million. The anticipated award will be a sole source purchase order pending fund availability, with shipping terms restricted to F.O.B. Destination or F.O.B. Origin. Vendors interested in challenging the sole source determination must submit capabilities information within ten calendar days of the posting.
