Market research was conducted, revealing that CFM International is the sole source for this commercial item, specifically related to CFM56-2 and CFM56-3 commercial aircraft engine parts. The government lacks the capability to qualify a source for this item, and pursuing alternative specifications would be cost and schedule prohibitive for the Air Force.
