This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition form for a commercial products procurement at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The procurement request number is 6155-CB01, and the Coast Guard is seeking to acquire aircraft parts from a single source without full and open competition. The justification type selected is "Only One Source Is Available," citing that the service is procurable only from the original equipment manufacturer, General Electric Co, located at 1000 Western Avenue, Lynn, MA 01905 (CAGE Code 99207). The specific items required are 4 each RING SEAL P/N 775794-4 NSN 5330-01-534-6701 and 5 each SEAL RING, METAL P/N 5183184P01 NSN 5330-01-673-7935 HC-144 aircraft parts. These items will be placed in the ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on USCG Aircraft. The rationale justifies the single-source procurement on the grounds that procedures and data are protected under the OEM's proprietary rights, and the OEM owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, making them procurable only from General Electric Co or distributors approved by the OEM. The contracting officer has indicated market research as the price determination method, and the form requires signature and date completion from the contracting officer.
