This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition document under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), Purchase Request Number 5346-NB01.

The Coast Guard intends to procure repair services for 10 EA CYLINDER,OXY EMERG, part number 5600-9C1A-X0K (NSN: 1680-01-257-7101) on a sole source basis. The units must be repaired in accordance with OEM specifications, and ALC requires RFI assets for the HC-27J aircraft. The sole source justification is based on FAR 12.102(a), citing that only one source is reasonably available due to urgency and exclusive licensing agreements or industrial mobilization concerns. The suggested source is Safran Aerosystems Services Americas, LLC (CAGE Code 55912), located at 6734 Valjean Avenue, Van Nuys, California 91406-5818. The rationale emphasizes that these repair services are procurable only from the OEM repair facility, as the items are unique to a specific aircraft and any installation, operation, or servicing must comply with OEM requirements and USCG's authorized engineering authority. The Original Equipment Manufacturer owns all rights to technical data and specifications required for repair, and it is uneconomical to pursue alternative sources.

For price determination, the contracting officer selected market research as the fair and reasonable price determination method. No other pricing methodologies (comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price lists, similar items in related industries, IGCE comparison, or contracting officer's personal knowledge) were selected.
