Redacted J and A.pdf

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 nine FMS NAV Database subscriptions for the C27J aircraft from Honeywell International, Inc. (CAGE Code 58960), located in Phoenix, AZ. The software subscription is used to update aircraft navigation systems and eliminate runway errors, with the OEM being the only source capable of providing the required technical data, specifications, and drawings.

The justification explains that Honeywell is the original equipment manufacturer and owns the rights to the technical data, making them the sole source provider. The procurement is being conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) with the project/task number C27J FMS NavDB. The document indicates that due to operational safety and flight critical requirements, the government cannot legally change the software or use alternative sources, and therefore is pursuing a sole source award to the incumbent manufacturer.
