    Tab 12 Redacted JA.pdf
    The document outlines the justification for a sole-source procurement under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the repair of three water collectors (P/N 776903-3 NSN 2915-01-308-6455) for HC-144 aircraft. The procurement, identified by Purchase Request 5357-CB03 and Project HC-144, cites 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1) as the authority, stating that only one responsible source exists. The items are unique to the aircraft, and the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), HAMILTION SUNSTRAND (CAGE CODE 73030), owns all technical data rights, making it uneconomical for the government to purchase these rights. Efforts to find alternative sources through past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®) require traceability to the OEM, new material condition, and adherence to delivery dates. The suggested source, AEROKOOL AVIATION CORP (CAGE CODE 1A821), is an OEM-approved distributor. The USCG cannot change service requirements due to operational safety and flight-critical needs, as these are dictated by the OEM. The government does not possess or plan to develop the technical data for manufacturing these parts. Future efforts to overcome competition barriers include continued market research through subscription services, alternative systems, industry periodicals, and trade shows.
