This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form documenting the rationale for a sole source procurement by the US Coast Guard. The document justifies limiting competition for the repair of 2 valve modulating parts (NSN: 2840-01-551-4791, P/N 4952829) for the C-27J aircraft to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The justification cites authority under 10 U.S.C § 3204(a)(1) for "only one responsible source" and explains that installation, operation, and servicing must comply with OEM requirements. The technical data and specifications required for repair are proprietary to the OEM, and the government does not own rights to this data. The USCG conducted market research through past procurement history and aviation subscription services to verify no other sources possess the necessary service data, true capability, and required turn-around time. The document states it would be uneconomical to purchase these rights, and that the USCG continues to attend trade shows and conferences to seek potential alternative sources for future procurements.
