This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for purchase request 4323-CD02, Project/Task C144, citing authority under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for a sole source procurement. The U.S. Coast Guard intends to repair Audio Control Panel P/N: AL24-3370-9MODVER4, NSN: 5895-01-HS2-1947 (qty 2ea plus possible additional 20ea) through Orbit Communications, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The justification explains that Orbit Communications is the only source capable of performing the repairs as they own the proprietary technical data and engineering specifications required. The USCG conducted market research through aviation subscription services but determined no other sources could meet the requirements. The document indicates this is not economically feasible for the government to purchase OEM rights or technical data to manufacture these parts. The form is dated November 18/21, 2024 and appears to be the March 8, 2023 version of the standard form.
