This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The purchase request number is 6236-ND01, and the Coast Guard is seeking to repair a Fuel Gauging Probe (Part Number 764552-1-0, NSN 6680-14-539-4123, quantity 5 each) on a sole source basis. The suggested source is Safran Aerosystems Services Americas, located at 567V9, 4900 Saint Joe BLVD, Atlanta, Georgia, 30337-6314 (UEI: TZD4TFZ1U1L1). The justification type selected is "Only One Source is Available," citing that these items are unique to specific aircraft and require Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) approval for installation and operation. Safran Aerosystems' FX Safran Aerotechnics Plastics (FUS33) owns all rights to the technical data and drawings necessary to repair these items, making it uneconomical for the Government to purchase repair rights from other sources. The contracting officer employed market research and comparison of proposed prices with prices from previous purchases as methods for determining fair and reasonable pricing.
