This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The document justifies a direct procurement from Airbus for repairing specific aircraft parts for the HC-144 Aircraft, including a Rudder P/N: 35-34001-003 and an NLG Actuator assembly P/N: CA93500-0001-51. The procurement is limited to Airbus due to their status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with unique technical data and engineering capabilities necessary to repair these specialized aircraft components. The document indicates that this is the only known source capable of fulfilling the requirement, with the technical procurement process directed exclusively by the OEM's technical data and manufacturing specifications. The justification includes efforts to ensure competition was explored, but ultimately concludes that Airbus is the sole source capable of meeting the government's specific technical and engineering requirements for these aircraft parts.
