Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

• Repair/modification of Throttle Quadrant A, P/N: 4260-0021-2, NSN: 1680-15-194-9810, to P/N: 4260-0021-3, NSN: 1680-01-HS3-1360.

• Address: 2802 Safran Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052-7027

• Unique Entity Identifier (UEI): L932KNSD62E6

• The parts are unique to a specific aircraft and require compliance with OEM requirements.

• Aeronautica Militare (A8170), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns the rights to the technical data necessary for repair.

• The Government does not own the rights to this technical data, and purchasing them is determined to be uneconomical.

• Safran Electronics and Defense is identified as the authorized OEM repair facility.

• Market Research was conducted.

• The selected method for price determination is "Comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases."
