This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a commercial product procured under FAR Part 12.

Procurement Details and Justification:

The Coast Guard is procuring one Overspeed Valve (P/N 6044T78G03, NSN 2915-01-HS3-4224, HC-144 aircraft part) through Purchase Request/Requisition Number 6124-CB01. The item will be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory for future requirements and installation on a USCG Aircraft. The contracting officer has justified restricting competition based on the "Only One Source Is Available" justification type, citing that this service is procurable exclusively from the original equipment manufacturer General Electric (GE, Cage Code 99207). The OEM owns proprietary rights to manufacturing procedures, data, specifications, and drawings required to manufacture the parts, making them available only through the OEM or an OEM-approved distributor.

Price Determination Method:

The contracting officer selected Market Research as the method for determining fair and reasonable pricing. This approach was chosen to verify that the proposed price aligns with market conditions for this specialized aircraft component. No alternative pricing methods such as price comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, industry comparisons, or IGCE comparisons were selected.
