The U.S. Coast Guard is seeking approval for a sole-source acquisition of six gasket kits (P/N: AKC130J0-04) for its HC-130J aircraft. This justification for other than full and open competition is based on the fact that Aviation Devices and Electronic Components (AV-DEC) is the sole manufacturer of this specific gasket kit, which is essential for the HC-130J aircraft and is referenced in the Illustrated Part Catalog. No alternate part numbers are approved. The contracting officer will determine a fair and reasonable price through market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and other methods. The rationale highlights the exclusive nature of the part to meet the agency's needs.
