The U.S. Coast Guard is requesting approval for a sole-source award to TE Connectivity Corp for the repair of eight Contactor, P/N B-461G, used on HC130J aircraft. This justification for other than full and open competition is based on the fact that TE Connectivity Corp is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the only known source with the necessary technical data, manuals, specifications, and drawings for these components. The Contactor is essential for providing uninterrupted electrical current to the main aircraft electrical bus. Market research indicates that no other companies can meet this requirement. Price determination methods will include comparing proposed prices with previous purchases and current price lists.
