This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition on a commercial products and services procurement below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT) under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The procurement request number is 2026096-NF50, and it justifies a sole-source award to Leonardo SPA (UEI: W8PTMRME1496), located at Piazza Monte Grappa 4, Roma 00195, Italy. The justification type selected is "Only One Source Is Available," citing that Leonardo SPA is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only known source capable of fulfilling the requirement with the necessary turn-around time. The Coast Guard conducted market research through USSGS past procurement history, international aviation subscription services, and Inventory Locator Service, contacting all potential sources to confirm that no unauthorized distributors could meet the requirement. The supplies required include various aircraft parts (bushings, control assemblies, ducts, ventilation items, casing units, break handle controls, and related components) with multiple NSNs and PILs, totaling 2 aircraft parts for inventory in an ALC Ready-For-Issue inventory for future issue and installation on USCGS aircraft. The contracting officer employed market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method to support the sole-source justification.
