This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) form documenting the rationale for a sole source procurement under FAR 13.106-1(b). The document justifies limiting competition to Aerospace Quality R&D Inc. (AQRD) for modifying composite panels on the HC-144 aircraft, specifically Panel Assembly RH (P/N 01-HS2-6496/95-11767-0002-MTA, QTY 1) and Panel Assembly Access LH (01-HS2-6056/35-11767-0011, QTY 2).

The justification cites that AQRD is the only known source capable of meeting requirements since they possess the necessary OEM technical data, specifications and drawings to modify these parts. The document notes that USCG conducted market research through past procurement history and aviation subscription services to verify no other qualified sources exist. The justification explains that obtaining OEM rights is not economically feasible, and the USCG cannot legally change requirements since they are directed by the OEM/aircraft manager. The form is dated March 8, 2023 and references project/task number C144.
