This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for commercial products and services, issued under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The requisition number is 6203-CD01, and the procurement is being justified under the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization requirements. The United States Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), through its Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) Product Line, intends to procure repair services for HC-144 aircraft parts from a single source. The requirement includes repair services for Detector Snoop, NSN 5350-01-483-5653, with a procurement of 4 units at increased quantity by QTY:3. Units must be repaired IAW with OEM specifications, and these parts are used on HC-144 aircraft and are replaced during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) due to corrosion and/or damage. ALC requires the repair asset for HC-144 aircraft operations.

The sole source identified is Kidde Technologies Inc., DBA Fenwal Safety Systems, located at 4200 Airport Drive NW, Wilson NC 27896-8630 (CAGE Code: 73168). The justification rationale establishes that Kidde Technologies Inc. is the OEM and owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture and repair the parts. Market research determined that it would be uneconomical to purchase design rights from the OEM or other sources, as these parts are only procurable from the OEM or OEM-approved distributors. The contracting officer will employ market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method.
