This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), submitted under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The procurement involves the initial purchase of four SPINNER aircraft propeller parts (P/N 790185-2, NSN 1610-01-530-8098, HC-144) to be placed in the ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG Aircraft. The single source justification cites the "Only One Source Is Available" exception, specifically noting that the service is procurable only from the original equipment manufacturer-approved source, Aircraft Propeller Services, located at 595 Telser Road, Lake Zurich, Illinois 60047 (CAGE Code 1TLK8). The rationale emphasizes that procedures and data are protected under proprietary rights of the OEM through a Proprietary Claim Certificate File, and that the OEM owns all rights to technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture these parts. Consequently, the parts are procurable only from the OEM or an OEM-approved distributor. The contracting officer selected market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method.
