This document is a "U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition" (SAP) for FAR 12.102 (a). It outlines the rationale for a sole-source procurement.

This document indicates that the U.S. Coast Guard intends to purchase specific aircraft parts (Bushing, NSN: 5365-01-HS3-7506, P/N: D57564, Qty: 5 ea.; Bushing, NSN: 5365-01-HS3-7602, P/N: D58612-1, Qty: 4 ea.; & Stop, NSN: 1680-01-HS3-7534, P/N: 38-81193-0403, Qty: 3 ea.) for the HC-144 aircraft. These parts are used on the HC-144 aircraft and are replaced during Product Depot Maintenance due to corrosion and/or damages. The justification for sole-source is based on "Only One Source Reasonably Available" due to the parts being peculiar to one manufacturer (Airbus Defence and Space SAU) and market research indicating that other companies' similar products or parts lacking the particular feature cannot meet the agency's needs. The contracting officer's market research method was "Market Research."
