This is a U.S. Coast Guard justification document for a sole source acquisition under FAR 12.102(a), Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1 for commercial products and services.

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center and Medium Range Recovery Product Line seeks to purchase 8 units with an option for 5 additional units of a transmission housing (National Stock Number 1615-01-494-7495, Part Number 37352-1) for the MH-60T helicopter. This specialized component is required for routine maintenance replacement due to failures, corrosion, or damage. The item has been designed and manufactured exclusively by Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation (UEI: JC42EBJ5NFJ1), located at 1 Hamilton Road, Windsor Locks, Connecticut 06096-1000. The justification for sole source procurement is based on Hamilton Sundstrand's status as the original equipment manufacturer holding all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item requires unique production techniques and extensive testing, with the Government possessing no manufacturing rights. USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code of 3, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer employed multiple fair and reasonable price determination methods including market research, comparison of proposed pricing with previous purchases, current price lists, comparison with similar industry items, and comparison to IGCE. The estimated total acquisition value, including options, falls below the SAT (Simplified Acquisition Threshold) purchase threshold.
