This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The document supports the acquisition of antenna parts (NSN 5985-01-582-3944, P/N 12-190-6/IP24) for the HC-27J aircraft from Chelton, Inc., who is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Coast Guard requires two antenna units for repair/overhaul, with potential option to purchase up to four total units.

The justification emphasizes that Chelton, Inc. is the only source capable of providing these specific antenna parts due to their ownership of technical data, rights, and specifications. The procurement is constrained by operational safety and flight critical requirements, preventing the government from modifying or competing the technical requirements. The anticipated contract will be a sole source purchase order, with the solicitation number 70Z03825QW0000071, and is set for award pending fund availability. The solicitation is unrestricted, with a response deadline of April 28, 2025, and an estimated contract award date to be determined.
