The U.S. Coast Guard issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition to acquire specific roller bearings (NIINs 3110-01-HS3-6961 and 3110-14-606-8795) for MH65 Nosewheel Assemblies. This acquisition is justified under the "Only One Source Reasonably Available" and "Brand Name" categories, citing FAR 12.102(a). Market research indicates that the required parts can only be sourced from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Timken Corporation (Cage: 60038, UEI: ZBR7R1G1MGB3), or any FAA AC 0056 certified vendor, as the government lacks adequate data or rights to data. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods such as market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items.
