Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000212.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for restricting competition on a commercial products and services procurement under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21.

The procurement seeks to purchase 885 units of a Roller, Seat (National Stock Number 3110-01-HS3-1946, Part Number KPD5583-K) on a brand name basis for use as a replacement item on the MH-601 aircraft during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The suggested source is Kamatlics Corporation, located at 1330 Blue Hills Ave, Bloomfield, Connecticut 06002-5303 (UEI: GXK6HT9PN3P9). The justification cites brand name restrictions based on the item being designed and manufactured exclusively by Kamatlics Corporation as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The document notes that the item meets critical operational and reliability requirements through unique production techniques and exclusive testing that only the OEM possesses. The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Engineering has assigned the item Acquisition Method Code (AMC) 5, requiring acquisition only from the prime contractor. The Coast Guard is conducting a brand name acquisition, and no option quantities are included in this procurement. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing using multiple methods including market research, comparison of proposed prices with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
