- Description
- SOLICITATION Statement of Work The Office of Contract Operations (CG-9127), Formal Contracts Division VII, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Headquarters, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC, proposes to enter into a contract on the basis of other than full and open competition. Nature and/or description of the action being approved. The USCG has a requirement on a sole source basis to obtain various spare main wheels and brake assembly parts to operate and maintain the C-27J aircraft. Only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) can meet the electrical lighting panel(s), control units, and the miscellaneous airframe parts requirement that the Coast Guard needs to effectively operate and maintain its C-27J aircrafts. The proposed contractor is: Alenia Aermacchi North America, Inc 1235 South Clark St. Arlington, VA 22202-2202 (703) 413-2114 Description of Supplies/Services. The Coast Guard seeks to issue one (1) firm-fixed-price order for the procurement of varying wheel and brake assemblies as listed within purchase request # 2015068-NV01. The Coast Guard desires delivery by December 2015. Lead times vary depending on part - however the CG will accept early deliveries mitigating inventory needs of spare parts. Requirement See attached Solicitation Identification of the justification and the rationale. The statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1 entitled "Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". Demonstration that the nature of the acquisition requires use of the authority cited. The Coast Guard's C-27J program requires various Alenia electrical lighting panel(s), control units, and the miscellaneous airframe parts to effectively operate and maintain 14 C-27J at two Coast Guard air stations (Sacramento and Clearwater). Alenia is the manufacture of electrical lighting panel(s), control units, and the miscellaneous airframe parts currently installed and operated on the C-27J aircraft. There are no spare parts available at this time in the USCG supply inventory to support repair/replacement of non working components. Alenia Aermacchi North America has some stock on hand in the continental US and in Italy. Once a formal quote is received Alenia can confirm if parts inventory has changed and if parts are still available. As documented the Air Force transferred all previously procured DoD C-27J spare parts to the Army Special Forces at Fort Bragg. Without the required C-27J electrical lighting panel(s), control units, and the miscellaneous airframe parts the Coast Guard may be unable to maintain its goal of 71% availability index (Ai). Just the same prolonging the purchase may cause increased costs, unjustifiable aircraft on ground, while also decreasing operational readiness. A description of the efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as is practicable. In accordance with FAR 5.201, a sources sought of the requirement is encouraged and requested to be advertised on the Federal Business Opportunities Government Point of Entry (FedBizOpps.gov). The notice should indicate the intent to issue an order on a basis of other than full and open competition. A solicitation for this requirement will be posted to fbo.gov upon approval of this J&A. Any eligible offeror may submit a proposal which will be considered by the Coast Guard. However, Alenia is the only known Coast Guard C27J APO certified supply source and any other offeror will be required to submit evidence of the same certification. Approval and certification of any other source will also be required by C27J Engineering division and authorized personnel.
