Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition, utilizing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102 (a). It outlines the rationale for a sole-source acquisition.

• Purchase Request or Requisition Number: 2026006-ND04
• Authority: FAR 12.102 (a) - Only One Source Reasonably Available.
• Supplies/Services: Evaluation and repair of Air Cycle Machine, P/N: 203920-3, NIIN: 1660-15-202-7067, Qty 2 ea. These items are replaced due to corrosion and/or damages during Product Depot Maintenance (PDM).
• Suggested Source: Honeywell INTL INC Environ Control, Torrance, CA.
• Rationale: The repair items are unique to a specific aircraft, and Honeywell INTL Inc. (OEM) owns all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. It is deemed uneconomical to purchase these rights from other than the OEM.
• Price Determination Methods: Market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items, comparison to IGCE, contracting officer's personal knowledge, or other methods.

This document indicates a sole-source procurement for specific aircraft parts repair. Bidders interested in this type of specialized repair service or component may find this information relevant for understanding market dynamics and potential future opportunities, or for challenging the sole-source justification if applicable.
