Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000086.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for a brand name acquisition. The document justifies a single-source procurement from Dytran Instruments, Inc., located at 21592 Marilia Street, Chatsworth, CA 91311-4137 (UEI: CN8NT3LGL8S6).

The acquisition covers 15 units of an ACCELEROMETER 50 FT (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS3-1090, Part Number 3077M119) for the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line to be used on the MH-60T aircraft. The items are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage. The justification asserts that this accelerometer is a specialized item that has been uniquely designed and manufactured by Dytran Instruments as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The Coast Guard contends that the item is uneconomical to purchase from any source other than the prime contractor, as Dytran owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture, and the USCG Aviation Engineering has not authorized any other source. The procurement employs multiple price reasonableness determination methods, including market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, review of current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE standards.
