This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a sole source acquisition by the U.S. Coast Guard. The document supports the procurement of two aircraft elevator parts for the HC-144 aircraft from Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc. (Cage Code: 0DAF1), with specific part numbers 35-32000-0007 (LH Elevator) and 35-32000-0009 (RH Elevator), NSN: 1560-01-HS2-5751 and 1560-33-001-9887 respectively. The justification emphasizes that Airbus is the only source capable of providing these parts due to unique characteristics, including being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary technical and engineering data, owning rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts.

The document details the government's market research efforts, which determined that no alternative sources can meet the specific requirements. The acquisition is being pursued under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), citing only one responsible source can satisfy agency requirements. The solicitation is part of a Special Notice of Intent to Award, with a closing date of May 23, 2025, at 4:00 pm EST. The procurement is for repair services, with strict requirements that any vendor (except the OEM) must be FAA 145 certified and perform at least 50% of the work at their certified facility. The anticipated contract will be a Sole Source Purchase Order, pending fund availability, with the North American Industry Classification Standard (NAICS) Code 488190 and a small business size standard of $40M.
