Attachment 2- Redacted J and A-70Z03827QJ0000006.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition for a commercial product purchase under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1.

The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line is procuring a SHEAVE (part number 42315-72, NSN 3020-01-HS1-0396) for the MH-60T aircraft. A quantity of 9 units is required, with an optional quantity of 10 additional units. The item is needed for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The contracting officer has selected a Brand Name justification type, identifying HORNET ACQUISITIONCO, LLC (3355E LA PALMA AVE., ANAHEIM, CA 92806-2815, UEI: DP6VFUMMTJC8) as the sole suggested source.

The justification cites that Hornet AcquisitionCo, LLC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture. The item is complex with critical operational and reliability requirements that necessitate unique production techniques. The Government does not possess the technical data rights, and it would be uneconomical to purchase elsewhere. Additionally, the USCG Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 5 to the item, requiring acquisition only from the prime contractor. The contracting officer employed multiple fair and reasonable price determination methods, including market research, comparison with previous purchase prices, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
