Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It requests approval to award a sole source order for the repair of three (3) Receiver/Transmitters (P/N: 902449-801) for the HC-130J aircraft, with an option for two (2) additional units.

The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the justification type. BAE Systems is identified as the sole authorized repair center for this specific component. They possess the proprietary technical data, specifications, and drawings necessary for the repair, and no other source is acceptable per U.S. Coast Guard Engineering requirements. Market research has been conducted, and the contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research and comparison of proposed prices with those found reasonable on previous purchases.

This document is relevant to potential bidders as it explains the rationale for a sole-source award, indicating that competition is restricted due to the unique repair capabilities and proprietary data held by BAE Systems.
