Other / Unclassified

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT). It cites FAR 12.102(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12 as the authority.

The specific supplies required are "CREW HARNESS, ASSY. 960020-3" with an estimated quantity of 7 and an option quantity of 8.

The rationale for this justification is that the required spare parts are highly specialized, designed and manufactured by a non-Government activity. The technical data required for acquisition by other than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is not available. The solicitation and resulting purchase order will require all materials to have clear, documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Airworthiness, certifying compliance with FAR clause 52.246-15.

This document indicates that the upcoming procurement for "CREW HARNESS, ASSY. 960020-3" will likely be restricted to a single source, "Zodiac Aerosafety Systems, France (F6101)", due to the specialized nature of the parts and the unavailability of technical data for other manufacturers. Bidders should note that this is not a competitive solicitation and will require specific OEM traceability and a Certificate of Airworthiness.
