Pump-Motor, Windshield

This document outlines the federal contract terms, conditions, and acquisition provisions (Solicitation 70Z03826QJ0000250) for a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) sole-source procurement. The solicitation is for new manufactured Pump-Motors and Windshields authorized by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Globe Motors, Inc. Because it is a sole-source acquisition, the basis for award is a determination of fair and reasonable pricing. Key provisions and clauses detailed in the document include: - **Quality Assurance & Traceability:** Requirements for contractor risk management, counterfeit part prevention, and full supply chain traceability for items touching USCG aircraft. - **Packaging & Shipping:** Detailed specifications for packaging, labeling, and shipping to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. - **Regulatory Certifications:** Buy American Act compliance, prohibited telecommunications and video surveillance equipment restrictions, and Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) orders. - **Prohibitions & Policies:** Prohibitions on using specific Chinese-manufactured unmanned aircraft systems (drones), doing business in restricted areas like Sudan and Iran, and engaging in racially discriminatory Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) activities. - **Information Security:** Requirements for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems. Contractors must maintain active System for Award Management (SAM) status, provide a Certificate of Conformance, and submit invoices electronically to the ALC Fiscal Branch.

This Justification and Approval (J&A) document authorizes a sole-source procurement by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for HC-27J aircraft proprietary spare parts. The contract is awarded to Leonardo SpA, doing business as Leonardo Divisione Velivoli, located in Rome, Italy. The purpose of this acquisition is to procure highly specialized, proprietary parts necessary to support and maintain the USCG’s fleet of HC-27J Medium Range Surveillance aircraft. Leonardo SpA is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the C-27J aircraft and maintains exclusive ownership of the technical data, drawings, and manufacturing rights required to produce these critical components. Consequently, no other source possesses the requisite technical expertise or legal authority to satisfy the government's operational requirements. Securing these parts directly from the OEM ensures fleet safety, airworthiness, and operational readiness. Initiating a competitive procurement is highly impractical, as it would lead to unacceptable delays and duplication of costs that the government is not expected to recover. This J&A confirms that the USCG will continue to monitor the market for potential alternative sources, though Leonardo SpA remains the sole viable provider for these proprietary aeronautical parts at this time.
