This document is a Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) form for a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) contract for aircraft parts. The procurement is for a Sea Wafer COLLECT, P/N 776903-3 NSN 2915-01-308-6455 for HC-144 aircraft, with parts to be placed in ALC Ready-For-Issue Inventory. The contract is a sole-source procurement from Hamilton Sunstrand (CAGE CODE 73030), which owns the technical data, specifications, and drawings for these technical items.

The justification for sole-source procurement is based on the vendor being the original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with proprietary rights to the technical data and parts. The USCG has determined that no other suppliers can meet the aircraft and operational requirements, and the OEM has not developed alternative procurement options. The document details the USCG's efforts to ensure competitive sourcing, including market research, international aviation subscription services, and ongoing attempts to seek alternative procurement methods while maintaining the specific technical requirements for the HC-144 aircraft parts.
