    This document justifies the procurement of specific items for the C-27J aircraft on a sole source basis under federal acquisition procedures. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) seeks to acquire parts identified by unique part numbers and National Stock Numbers (NSNs), asserting that only the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Leonardo SPA, possesses the technical data and specifications needed for compliance with safety and operational standards. The justification emphasizes that no alternatives can satisfy the agency's operational requirements due to legal ownership of necessary data by the OEM, making it economically unfeasible for the government to seek other sources or develop OEM data rights. The USCG's procurement strategy involved reaching out to potential suppliers through market research, but all avenues led back to the OEM as the only viable source. The document underscores the agency's commitment to maintaining compliance with OEM standards while navigating barriers to competition, offering insights into future procurement strategies. Overall, it illustrates the challenges faced in federal procurement when limited to single sources due to proprietary requirements.
