Justification and Approvals.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form documenting a single-source procurement decision.

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is procuring repair services for HC-144 aircraft transmitter parts on a sole-source basis from Eldec Aerospace Corp. (DBA Crane Aerospace & Electronics), located in Lynnwood, Washington (CAGE Code: 08748). The justification cites "Only One Source Is Available" as the authorization basis, supported by FAR 12.602(a) and FAR Class Deviation 25-21, Rev. 1 for Part 12. The specific parts required are transmitter model 8680-D1-329-0895 and related components that must be repaired in accordance with OEM specifications. These parts are used on HC-144 aircraft and are replaced during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) due to corrosion or damage. The ALC has determined that RF assets for HC-144 aircraft require these replacement parts. The rationale states that Eldec Aerospace Corp. is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the parts and owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings necessary to manufacture and repair the components. The contracting officer determined that it is uneconomical to purchase repair rights from the OEM or any distributor, and that these parts are procurable only from the OEM. The fair and reasonable price determination method selected is market research. The form was last updated on March 3, 2026.
