Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document justifies limiting solicitations to a single source for specific aircraft parts for the HC-144 aircraft. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) intends to procure these parts on a sole-source basis due to unique characteristics and proprietary technical data owned by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).
