Redacted Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition - 70Z03826QH0000070.pdf

This is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other Than Full and Open Competition under 10 U.S.C. § 3205 for a sole-source procurement by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). The procurement involves acquiring Honeywell International aircraft components through an authorized distributor using a Firm Fixed-Price Purchase Order mechanism. The specific items required are two Cabin Air Controllers (P/N: 2118932-5), four Outflow A/C Valves (P/N: 102150-2+1), two Main Turbine Engine Fuel Controls (P/N: 3609150-8), and two Hydraulic Servo Valves (P/N: 130628-2). The solicitation number is 70Z03826QH0000070, with an estimated solicitation release date of June 10, 2026, quote submission deadline of June 17, 2026, and anticipated contract award by June 24, 2026. Funding is from Operations and Support funds for Fiscal Year 2026.

The justification cites the proprietary nature of Honeywell components as the basis for sole-source procurement, noting that only authorized Honeywell distributors can provide genuine, warranted parts meeting the USCG's technical and safety requirements for HC-130J aircraft operations. The document confirms that market research was conducted in April and May 2026, identifying multiple authorized distributors capable of supplying the required parts. S3 Aerodefense was the only vendor expressing written interest during market research. Price reasonableness will be determined through competitive quotes among authorized distributors. A Sources Sought Notice (70Z03826IH0000023) was posted to SAM.gov on April 16, 2026, and expired on April 30, 2026. The J&A emphasizes that no portions of the work can be segregated for competition and that modifications to specifications would compromise system compatibility, void warranties, and jeopardize aircraft safety. The nonavailability exception to the Buy American statute does not apply as all items are sourced through authorized U.S. distributors of Honeywell International.
