This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) Justification form for a sole source procurement by the U.S. Coast Guard. The procurement involves initial repair and installation of specific aircraft parts for HC-144 aircraft, including 1 EA RUDDER ASSY and 1 EA ELEVATOR EQUIPPD RH parts, to be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory.

The justification highlights unique characteristics requiring sole source procurement from the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), Airbus Defense and Space. The USCG cannot legally change the service requirements due to operational safety and flight critical specifications. The technical data, specifications, and drawings are proprietary to the OEM, and the government does not own or possess rights to manufacture these parts. The procurement is being pursued through procurement-based subscription services, alternative approved systems, industry periodicals, and trade shows to seek potential sources while acknowledging the current limitation to a single source.
