About this file
This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the US Coast Guard. The acquisition involves repairing two Flight Data Acquisition Units (Part Number 2243500-216, NSN 1680-01-HS2-3753) for the HC-144 aircraft. The United States Coast Guard intends to procure these repair services directly from Teledyne Controls, LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), due to their exclusive ownership of the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for repair.
The justification cites that these parts are unique to the specific aircraft and must comply with OEM requirements and the USCG's authorized engineering authority. Market research confirmed no alternative sources possess the necessary service data, capabilities, and turn-around time. The government does not own the technical rights to manufacture these parts and has determined it is uneconomical to purchase such rights. The procurement is being pursued under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) with the justification type of "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements" under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1).

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT LIMIT AVAILABILITY TO ONLY ONE SOURCE, WITH THE REASON NO OTHER SUPPLIES OR SERVICES CAN BE USED. These items to be repaired under this acquisition (to include 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 aulhorized engineering authority for this particular airframe. As the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of this item, Teledyne Controls, LLC. (CAGE code 98571) owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to repair these items. The rights to the technical data necessary in order to repair and modify these items 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
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 Tum-Around-Time.
REASON THAT SUGGESTED SOURCE IS THE ONLY SOURCE WHICH CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLIES OR SERVICES. Teledyne Controls, LLC.
(CAGE code 98571) is the OEM and own the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. These parts are procurable only from the OEM or any distributor approved by the OEM.
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. Due to Operational Safety and/or Flight Critical Requirements. the USCG cannot legally change the requirement for this item as it ls 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.
