This is a US Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form, used to support a sole-source procurement decision.

The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking to purchase NSO (National Stock Order) touch sensors (NSN: 5999-01-633-7801, P/N: TS2-MD-2000) in a quantity of 25 units, with an option for an additional 25 units, for a total potential of 50 parts. These components are used on HC-144 aircraft and are procured during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) to address corrosion and damage issues. The suggested source is Mildex Optical USA Inc., located at 507 W Erie Drive Suite 101, Tempe, Arizona, 85282-3117 (CAGE Code: 91TD4).

The justification invokes the "Only One Source Is Available" exception under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21, Rev. 1 for FAR Part 12, based on Mildex Optical USA Inc.'s exclusive ownership of the technical data, specifications, and manufacturing rights for this particular part. The rationale states that Mildex Optical USA Inc. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and holds all necessary intellectual property rights; no other OEM-approved source has been identified. Fair and reasonable pricing will be determined through market research. The contracting officer's signature and date fields remain blank on this form, last updated 03/03/2026.
