This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) form under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b) for purchase request number 5036-CH01, project/task number HC-144. The justification cites authority under 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) for only one responsible source.

The document justifies a sole source purchase by the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center for HC-144 aircraft parts from Airbus Defense and Space SAU, including specific parts: Fitting (NSN: 4730-33-202-2586), Bushing (NSN: 5365-01-HS3-3266), and Fairing Assembly (NSN: 1560-01-HS3-7504). The justification explains that Airbus is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive technical data rights and engineering authority for these parts (CAGE Code: 01178). The document notes that continued market research is conducted through maintenance subscriptions and aviation trade shows to identify potential alternative sources, though it is currently not economically feasible for the government to manufacture these parts independently. The document is dated March 8, 2023.
