    Redacted JA.pdf
    The document outlines the justification for a sole-source acquisition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the repair and overhaul of specific aircraft antennas (P/N: 12-190-6/IP24 and 19-430-10N). The USCG requires these repairs for Product Depot Maintenance due to corrosion or damage. The justification relies on the fact that Chelton, INC. (OEM) holds all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings, making it uneconomical for the government to purchase these rights or for other entities to perform the repairs. Market research efforts, including the use of past procurement history and the Inventory Locator Service (ILS®), confirmed that only the OEM or an OEM-approved facility (Chelton Limited) can provide the services. The government cannot change the requirement due to operational safety and flight-critical needs, and it does not possess or plan to develop the technical data to manufacture these parts. While it's not economically feasible to remove barriers to competition, the USCG continues to seek alternative purchase/service options through various industry channels.
