About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification document for a firm-fixed-price delivery order issued by the Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard (USCG), Aviation Logistics Center (ALC). The contracting activity proposes to award the contract on a sole source basis to GE Aviation, doing business as Dowty Propellers (CAGE Code 93366), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
The acquisition covers MAT 5000 PFTE Grease required for maintenance and rebuild of Dowty Propeller Assemblies used on USCG HC-130J and HC-27J fixed-wing aircraft. The requirement includes two line items of the same part (P999235, NSN 9150PHM00058488), with a quantity of 8 units each and an optional quantity of 8 additional units. The justification for sole source procurement under GSAR 538.7104-3(b)(ii) is based on the unique and highly specialized nature of the product. MAT 5000 PFTE Grease is currently the only OEM-approved grease permitted for use during maintenance and rebuild operations, and its use is critical to the airworthiness of the aircraft and aircraft systems. The requirement is defined in several technical instructions governing the airworthiness of the propeller assemblies, making competitive solicitation impracticable.
