Justification and Approval for Other Than Full and Open Competition.pdf
Apr 1, 2025, 7:04 PM UTC
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) seeks to procure the CICC/3 FA2100 Ethernet Interface Cable directly from L3Harris Aviation Products due to the absence of alternative sources. This sole-source procurement is justified under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) due to urgency and the unique capabilities of L3Harris as the original manufacturer of the required equipment. The cables are essential for downloading and decompressing flight data from USCG's C-130J and C-27J aircraft, using existing software tools exclusive to L3Harris. The selected vendor is the only one capable of supplying the appropriate interface cables and software rights needed for the current systems, making it economically impractical to consider other suppliers. The estimated total value of this procurement will fall within the simplified acquisition threshold, with an initial order of 10 cables and optional quantities ranging up to 15 additional units. The contracting officer will determine a fair and reasonable price based on comparisons with previous purchases and similar industry items. A notice will be published, inviting other responsible sources to submit proposals.
