This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document submitted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for purchase request 2026156-CM03.

The Coast Guard seeks to procure antenna parts on a sole-source basis from Chelton Limited, located at The Chelton Centre, Fourth Avenue, Marlow, Buckinghamshire SL71TF, UK (UEI: U1907). The specific item is an ANTENNA, P/N: 19-440-10, NSN: 5985-01-374-4256, with a quantity of 1 unit and 0 additional units. These replacement parts are used on HC-144 aircraft and are replaced during inspections due to corrosion or damage. The justification cites FAR 5.201(c)(3), FAR 11.204, and FAR 12.102(a) as authority, asserting that the particular brand name is essential to the Government's requirements because Chelton Limited is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and the only known source capable of fulfilling this requirement. Market research confirmed that no authorized distributors or repair vendors can provide the part and that the OEM is necessary for repair of the USCG asset. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using market research as the primary method for price evaluation.
