This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for the U.S. Coast Guard. The document supports a sole source procurement for repair parts for the HC-144 aircraft water collectors, specifically from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation. The procurement involves purchasing two water collector parts (NSN 2915-01-308-6455, Part Number 776903-3), with potential for up to six total parts under the contract. The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking these parts specifically because Hamilton Sundstrand is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to repair these parts. The justification explains that no other sources can legally change or reproduce the required technical specifications, making this a unique sole source acquisition necessary for maintaining the aircraft's operational capabilities.
