Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 12.102(a). It outlines the rationale for procuring specific aircraft parts and repair services from a single source.

• Purchase Request or Requisition Number: 2026007-NF01
• Authority Cited: FAR 12.102(a)
• Justification Type: Only one source is reasonably available.
• Brand Name: Items are peculiar to one manufacturer, and market research indicates other companies' similar products do not meet the agency's needs.
• Supplies/Services: Initial procurement to repair one (1) Copilot Seat (PN: 3A185-0016-02-1, NSN: 1680-01-HS2-8520) and two (2) Seat Pilots (PN: 3A185-0015-02-1, NSN: 1680-99-407-4165) for C27J aircraft parts. These items will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory.
• Suggested Source: IPECO INC (UEI: DBCHTZVQL9K9), located at 2275 Jefferson ST, Torrance, California, 90501-3302.
• Rationale: IPECO INC is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair/overhaul. It is uneconomical for the Government to purchase these rights from other sources.
• Price Determination Method: Market Research was conducted.

This document indicates a sole-source procurement for specific aircraft parts repair. Bidders who are not IPECO INC or an authorized OEM repair facility may find this opportunity not applicable to them due to the justification cited. It highlights the importance of OEM authorization and ownership of technical data for this specific aircraft component repair.
