Redacted J and A.pdf

This document is a Justification and Authorization (J&A) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures for a sole source procurement of shipping containers for the USCG C27J aircraft. The initial procurement is to buy 2 EA shipping containers (NSN 23093470) for installation on a USCG aircraft. Rolls-Royce (CAGE code 63005) is identified as the exclusive OEM, owning the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture these parts, which makes them the sole source provider.

The procurement is being pursued under urgent requirements to support the USCG C27J Aircraft, with Leonardo SPA (CAGE code A1512) identified as having stock available to ship. The document indicates the government has investigated multiple potential sources through market research, including using Inventory Locator Service, but determined that only Rolls-Royce can provide these specific parts. The acquisition is planned as a sole source purchase order, pending fund availability, with a focus on obtaining OEM-specific parts that are unique to the specific aircraft's Form, Fit, and Function requirements.
