The Coast Guard intends to procure 25 units of a PLUG FUSIBLE part (PN: K1037 DAS8118-155, NSN: 4730-01-HS2-7510) on a sole source basis, with an additional quantity of 0 units available. These parts are used on HC-144 aircraft and require replacement during inspection due to corrosion or damage. The suggested source is Meggitt Aerospace Ltd., located in Coventry, West Midlands, UK (Cage Code K1037). The justification for sole source selection is based on only one source reasonably available, citing urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, and industrial mobilization as supporting factors. Market research confirmed that Chelton Limited is the product OEM and the only known source capable of fulfilling the requirement, with no authorized distributors or repair vendors available. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research methods.
