Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A.pdf

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 8 ESIS Battery Packs (Part Number 501-1712-02, National Stock Number 6130-01-541-4948) on a sole source basis for the MH-60T aircraft. The battery packs are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage.

The sole source supplier is Symetrics Industries, LLC located in Melbourne, Florida, which is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The justification notes that Symetrics owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings, and is the only manufacturer approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for this specific helicopter component. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, price comparisons with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to internal government estimates.
