    Title
    Posted
    This document outlines a sole-source procurement justification for repairing specific rudder and elevator components for HC-144 aircraft parts for the US Coast Guard (USCG). The procurement, identified by Purchase Request 5356-CB02 and Project HC-144, cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, stating that only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The justification details that AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE (CAGE CODE 0117B or ODAF1) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings, making it uneconomical for the government to purchase these rights or for other sources to manufacture the parts. The USCG has conducted market research through past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®) but found no alternative sources that could provide OEM traceability, new material condition, and meet delivery dates. Due to operational safety and flight-critical requirements, the USCG cannot alter the service requirement. The government will continue to seek alternative procurement options through subscription services, industry periodicals, and trade shows for future acquisitions, despite not owning the technical data.
    This solicitation outlines the terms and conditions for federal government acquisition of commercial items, specifically for the repair of Rudder Assembly and Elevator Equipped RH parts for USCG aircraft. It details instructions for offerors, evaluation criteria focusing on technical acceptability (FAA, OEM, or Air Force certification, adherence to OEM Component Maintenance Manuals, and Statement of Work), and price. The document emphasizes strict prohibitions on certain telecommunications equipment, unmanned aircraft systems, and business operations in Sudan and Iran, requiring offerors to conduct reasonable inquiries and disclose any non-compliance. Quality assurance, packaging, shipping, and invoicing instructions are also provided, including a requirement for a Certificate of Conformance. The overall purpose is to ensure compliance with federal acquisition regulations and national security concerns for government contracts.
