    The document outlines a justification for the sole-source procurement of essential parts and services related to the repair of the FLT. DATA ACQ. UNIT, part number 2243500-216, required for the HC-144 aircraft. The justification adheres to the federal acquisition regulations that permit limiting solicitation to one source if it is determined that only one supplier can fulfill the government’s needs. Only Teledyne Controls, LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), possesses the necessary technical data and specifications for the repair, constituting a unique requirement that cannot be met by other suppliers. The document explains that efforts to ensure broad competition have been undertaken but emphasized that due to operational safety and technical restrictions dictated by the OEM, no satisfactory alternatives were found. The U.S. Coast Guard plans to continue exploring other procurement avenues for future requirements, though acquiring OEM rights remains economically unfeasible. This process demonstrates the government's commitment to maintaining operational integrity and safety while navigating the constraints of sole-source acquisitions.
