This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form for purchase request 5035-CB02, project/task C144. The document justifies a sole source procurement to Airbus for repair of a Rudder Assembly (P/N: 35-34001-0003, NSN: 1560-01-HS2-6222) for the HC-144 aircraft.

The justification cites that Airbus is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and sole owner of the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for the repair. The U.S. Coast Guard determined it is not economically feasible to purchase these OEM rights or develop the technical data themselves. The agency conducted market research through procurement history and aviation subscription services to confirm Airbus is the only source capable of performing the repairs. The document notes that while the USCG will continue to monitor maintenance and repair work-based subscription services and industry trade shows for potential future sources, currently only Airbus or an OEM-authorized repair facility can provide these services.
