This document is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a), specifically for the purchase of aircraft parts for the U.S. Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), Medium Range Surveillance (MRS) Product Line. The justification is based on the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" authority, citing that the parts are peculiar to one manufacturer and market research indicates that similar products from other companies do not meet the agency's needs.

The following parts are required:

• Cover Seat Back Csh (NSN: 1680-01-HS1-9524)
• Cover Seat Pan Cush (NSN: 1680-01-HS1-9526)
• Cover, Cushion Back (NSN: 1680-99-131-3916)

• Cable Assy. Horizont (NSN: 5995-01-HS2-5001)
• Spring (NSN: 5360-01-HS2-8386)

These parts are used on the HC-144 aircraft and are intended for replacement during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) due to corrosion and/or damages.

Not explicitly stated, but implied to be a sole-source procurement.

Not applicable for this justification document.

This procurement is sole-sourced to Ipeco Inc. (Cage Code: 5Z814), identified as an approved OEM distributor. The rationale states that Ipeco Holdings Limited (Cage Code: K9075) is the OEM, and Airbus Defense and Space SAU own the rights to the technical data. The government does not own these rights, and it is deemed uneconomical to purchase them.

• The suggested source is Ipeco Inc., 2275 Jefferson Street, Torrance, California, 90501-3302, United States.
