This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition on a commercial products procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12.

The procurement (Purchase Request 6208-CB03) is for the initial procurement to repair two Power Control Assembly parts (P/N 7-44127-118, NSN 1680-01-570-3214, HC-144 aircraft parts). These items will be placed in the ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG aircraft. The suggested source is Airbus DS Military Aircraft Inc., located at 8100 Airbus Military Drive, Mobile, AL 26608 (CAGE Code 0DAF1). The justification for restricting competition to a single source is based on the fact that these aircraft parts are proprietary to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The OEM—Airbus—owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, which are protected under a Proprietary Claim Certificate File. These parts are only procurable from the OEM or an OEM-approved distributor. For price reasonableness determination, the contracting officer will utilize market research as the primary method.
