    The document outlines a justification for a sole-source procurement under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) as permitted by FAR 13.106-1(b). The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) requires unique repair parts specific to certain aircraft that can only be supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Leonardo S.P.A. and Safran Landing Systems. The procurement is based on the need for parts that comply with OEM specifications due to their unique characteristics and regulatory requirements, driven by operational safety considerations. Previous attempts to identify alternate suppliers were explored through market research and past procurement history, but only the OEM possesses the necessary technical data and rights for these repairs. The document emphasizes the challenges of competition in this context, noting that it is not feasible for the Government to obtain the needed technical rights. As a forward-looking strategy, the USCG will continue to explore avenues for identifying alternative service options to enhance competition in future acquisitions while adhering to existing procurement regulations and safety protocols.
