    This government file details a sole-source acquisition justification for repairing specific leading-edge parts for HC-144 aircraft, citing Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) FAR 13.106-1(b) and 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1). The procurement, with requisition number 5357-CB02 and project HC-144, involves two LH P/N 35-31126-0005*A NSN 1560-01-HS3-2446 and two RH P/N 35-31126-0006*A NSN 1560-01-HS3-2510 parts. The justification states that only Airbus Defence and Space (CAGE CODE ODAF1), the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), can provide these services due to proprietary rights over technical data, specifications, and drawings. The government does not own these rights, and acquiring them is deemed uneconomical. Market research efforts, including past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®), confirmed the OEM as the sole viable source. Future actions to overcome competition barriers include continued market research and industry engagement.
