    Redacted JA.pdf
    This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for Simplified Acquisition Procedures, specifically for sole-source procurement. The USCG requires the repair of specific aircraft parts—Pump, Submerged APU; Hook, Retra Cargo DO; and Cargo Dimmer Unit—due to corrosion and damage during Product Depot Maintenance. These items are unique to a particular aircraft, and their repair must comply with the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) requirements. The OEMs (Secondo Mona S.P.A, Leonardo S.P.A Airborne & Space System Division, and Safran Landing Systems) own all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government does not own these rights, and it is uneconomical to purchase them. Market research, including past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®), confirmed that only the OEMs or OEM-approved facilities possess the necessary service data, capability, and can meet turn-around-time requirements. Leonardo SPA is identified as the authorized OEM repair facility. The USCG cannot legally change the requirements due to operational safety and flight-critical needs. The government continues to seek alternative sources, but purchasing OEM rights is not economically feasible.

    The United States Coast Guard (USCG) requires inspection, repair, and overhaul services for specific aviation components from Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), OEM Authorized Repair Centers, or FAA Certified 145 Repair Centers. The contractor must comply with OEM specifications, manuals, and service bulletins, and be ISO 9000 compliant or have an acceptable quality system. The USCG will not provide proprietary OEM documentation; contractors must obtain these. USCG modifications to OEM components must be retained. The Statement of Work details repair levels (inspect/repair, overhaul), corrosion handling, and criteria for determining Beyond Economical Repair (BER) components. Contractors must provide a Teardown and Inspection Report (TIR) and ensure components are thoroughly cleaned of hazardous materials. The required turnaround time is 210 days. All repaired components must be airworthy, accompanied by an FAA airworthiness release or an authorized Certificate of Conformance. Components must be tracked via the USCG's Aviation Computerized Maintenance System (ACMS), with contractors maintaining legible tracking forms. Packaging must adhere to CMMs and industry standards, protecting against damage and corrosion, and clearly labeled.
