The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) is seeking to procure two C210-06-001 switches, NSN: 5930-99-168-5654, for its HC-144 aircraft through a sole-source justification. These parts are essential for Product Depot Maintenance (PDM) to address corrosion and damage. The sole-source justification is based on the fact that Page Aerospace Limited (CAGE Code: K0673) is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and holds all rights to the necessary technical data, specifications, and drawings. It has been deemed uneconomical for the government to acquire these rights. Therefore, the parts are only procurable from the OEM or an OEM-approved distributor. Airbus DS Military Aircraft, Inc. (CAGE Code: 0DAF1) has been identified as an approved OEM distributor and the suggested source. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and other methods.
