BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES OR SERVICES REQUIRED, AND THE INTENDED USE. MRS intends to repair the following part(s) on a sole source basis: NLG Actuator Assembly PIN: CA93500-0001, NSN: 1620-01-HS1-9327, Qty: 2ea, with an additional quantity of Dea. These parts are used on the HC-144 aircraft and are replaced during inspection due to corrosion/damage.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. This item to be procured under this acquisition (to include its Form, Fit, and Function) are unique to a specific aircraft, and any installation, operation, or servicing must comply with the Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM), requirements and/or the USCG's authorized engineering authority for this particular airframe. Airbus (Cage Code: ODAF1) Is the aircraft OEM and owns all rights to the technlcal data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. The rights to the technical data necessary In order to acquire these parts from other than the OEM or an OEM approved source are not owned by the Government, and it has been determined that it is uneconomical to purchase these rights.

A DESCRIPTION OF EFFORTS MADE TO ENSURE THAT QUOTATIONS OR OFFERS ARE SOLICITED FROM AS MANY POTENTIAL SOURCES AS PRACTICABLE (INCLUDE YOUR MARKET RESEARCH EFFORTS HERE). USCG uses past procurement history and the international aviation subscription service (Inventory Locator Service or ILS®), to seek available sources of supply. All potential sources were contacted via market research to determine if they possessed all of the following criteria: (1) if not the OEM, are in legal possession of the necessary service data, (2) have true capability, and (3) can meet the required Turn-Around-Time.

REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. Airbus is the aircraft OEM and at this time Is the only known source capable of fulfilling this requirement. These services are procurable only from the OEM or an OEM authorized repair facility.

EXPLAIN WHY AN ADEQUATE PURCHASE DESCRIPTION OR OTHER INFORMATION SUITABLE TO SOLICIT BY FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED OR ARE NOT AVAILABLE. USCG cannot legally change the requirement for this item as it is directed by the OEM and/or the OEM's manager of such data. Therefore, procurement processes are dictated by the OEM or an approved source of the OEM.

The Government does not own or possess any rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture these parts. In addition, the Government has not developed the technical data required to manufacture these parts and has no plans to do so.

PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF ACTIONS, IF ANY, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TAKE TO REMOVE OR OVERCOME ANY BARRIERS TO COMPETITION BEFORE FUTURE ACQUISITIONS ARE REQUIRED. It is not economically feasible for the Government to purchase the OEM rights, technical data, etc. to manufacture these parts. However, the USCG ALC MRS still continues to check maintenance and repair web-based subscription services, alternate approved systems, and industry periodicals, and also sends representatives to various aviation trade shows and conferences to seek out all possible legally achieved purchase/service options and sources.
