This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 12.102(a).

The procurement request number is 5349-CD01. The Coast Guard is justifying a sole-source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a) based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" justification type, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization concerns. The acquisition covers RFI assets for HC-144 aircraft parts, specifically a 6 EA JET-PUMP component (part number CA78300-0001, NSN 4320-33-001-2564). The suggested source is Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc., located at 8100 Airbus Military Drive, Mobile, Alabama 36608-5031, with UEI NRT7XASJ5MWK9 and CAGE code 0DAF1. The rationale for sole-source selection emphasizes that Airbus DS Military Aircraft is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and owns the rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for these parts. Items procured under this acquisition must comply with Aircraft Original Equipment (OEM) requirements and the USCG's authorized engineering authority. The Government does not own the technical data or drawings, and there are no plans to develop alternative approved systems or conduct market research for other sources. Fair and reasonable price determination will be made through market research methods, with the specific method marked as "Market Research" in the contracting officer's evaluation section.
