The Department of Homeland Security, specifically the U.S. Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center, is seeking to procure an Adapter Prop Balancer, part number 7A071, from GE Aviation Systems LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This specialized equipment is critical for the maintenance of C130J aircraft, ensuring safety, durability, and reliability, and is available from only one source due to the proprietary nature of the technical data rights held by the OEM. Interested parties may submit quotations to the primary contact, Stacey M. Riggs, by email, with a deadline for submissions set for November 4, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST. The procurement will follow simplified acquisition procedures, and early deliveries are encouraged at no additional cost to the government.

The U.S. Coast Guard's Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition outlines a sole-source acquisition from GE AVIATION SYSTEMS LLC for a specialized Adapter Prop Balancer (P/N 7A071) used in C130J aircraft maintenance. This justification is based on the rationale that GE AVIATION SYSTEMS is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds all technical data rights, making it uneconomical for the government to purchase these rights or reverse engineer the item. The adapter is critical for safety, durability, and reliability, requiring extensive testing. Market research indicated no other sources could meet these specific requirements. The procurement will follow Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), with a combined synopsis/solicitation to be posted on www.sam.gov to allow all responsible sources to submit capability statements. Price determination methods will include market research and comparison with previous purchases and current price lists.
