Redacted J and A.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures supporting a sole source procurement for the U.S. Coast Guard. The procurement involves an initial order to repair 6 EA FLAP DRIVE ASSY P/N 11834-101 for C27J aircraft parts, to be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future installation on a USCG Aircraft. Leonardo SPA (CAGE code A2142) owns the technical data and rights for these specific aircraft parts, making them the sole source provider.

The document details that due to operational safety and flight-critical requirements, the Coast Guard cannot legally change the service requirement and must procure directly from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The procurement is targeted specifically for Able Aerospace Services, Inc. (CAGE Code 1QCB8), who is considered the only potential source with access to the required proprietary technical and engineering data. The procurement is associated with Solicitation Number 70Z03825QW0000074, with a closing date of May 2, 2025, and anticipates awarding a Sole Source Purchase Order pending fund availability.
