This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase 4 Voice Flight Data Recorders for the MH-60T aircraft from GE Aviation Systems LLC, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). These specialized items are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.

The procurement is being conducted as a sole source acquisition, with the justification that GE Aviation Systems LLC owns all technical and manufacturing rights to this complex item. The USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board has approved this specific item for use on the MH-60T helicopter, and an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 has been assigned. The contracting officer has verified the fair and reasonable pricing through multiple methods, including market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
