    The document outlines the justification for a sole-source procurement related to the repair of two CNIS Processors essential for the HC-130J Aircraft's Flight Data System. The contracting officer asserts that G.E. Aviation Systems LLC is the only available source for this service due to their proprietary technical data and the critical nature of these components. Despite efforts to identify alternative repair vendors through market research, G.E. Aviation remains the sole authorized repair facility. The justification details the urgency of the repair and acknowledges the lack of purchase descriptions that could facilitate competitive bids. The U.S. Coast Guard plans to maintain communication with G.E. Aviation to explore future acquisition possibilities while recognizing the current dependency on their specialized services. This document reinforces compliance with federal guidelines surrounding contracting and procurement practices, emphasizing transparency and the necessity of justifications for non-competitive awards.
