    Redacted JA.pdf
    This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for the repair of a C27J aircraft pilot seat. It cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, indicating that IPECO INC. (CAGE code 5Z814) is the sole responsible source because they are the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and own all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. The U.S. Coast Guard requires this specific item due to its unique characteristics, which are critical for aircraft operation and safety, and cannot be sourced from other suppliers. Efforts to find alternative sources through past procurement history and international aviation subscription services were unsuccessful as other suppliers could not provide traceability to the OEM or meet documentation requirements for new material conditions. The government has determined it is uneconomical to purchase the technical data rights from the OEM. Future actions to increase competition include continued market research and attendance at aviation trade shows, despite the government's unwillingness to acquire OEM data.
