This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition in a federal procurement under FAR 12.102(a). The purchase request number is 6161-CB01, and the contracting officer has determined that only one source is available for the required item, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization concerns.

The procurement involves the purchase of one cable part with NSN 6150-01-324-5982, HC-144 aircraft parts. The item will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on a USCG Aircraft. The sole source identified is General Electric Co, located at 1000 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA 01905 (CAGE Code 99207). The justification explains that this service is procurable only from General Electric as the original equipment manufacturer, since the company owns proprietary rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts. These parts cannot be obtained from any distributor not approved by the OEM. The contracting officer determined fair and reasonable pricing using market research as the primary price determination method. The document was last updated on March 3, 2026.
