This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document for the US Coast Guard's procurement of spare parts for the HC-144 aircraft under purchase request 5008-CH01, project/task number HC-144. The justification cites authority 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for sole source procurement, indicating only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements.

The USCG Aviation Logistics Center intends to purchase specific aircraft parts on a sole source basis from Airbus Defense and Space SA (OEM), including brackets, handles, hinges, and fittings with specified NSNs and quantities. The justification explains that these parts have unique characteristics that require compliance with Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM) specifications, and only Airbus Defense and Space SA owns the technical data rights and drawings needed for manufacture. The document confirms that market research was conducted through procurement history and international aviation subscription services, determining that only the OEM or their approved distributors can provide these parts while meeting required Turn-Around-Time requirements.
