Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03827QJ0000017.pdf

This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for restricting competition on a federal contract opportunity issued by the U.S. Coast Guard under FAR 12.102(a), FAR Class Deviation 25-21 Rev. 1. The purchase requisition number is 70Z03827QJ0000017, and the estimated total value is redacted but noted as over the Micro-Purchase Threshold but up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT).

The Coast Guard's Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line seek to procure 35 units of a Seal Window, Man (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS1-1892, Part Number 70209-82818-102) for the MH-60T helicopter on a sole source basis. The justification for sole source procurement cites "Only One Source is Available," specifically identifying Seal Dynamics, LLC (UEI: Y1M9BKYLXL58) located at 2 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, NY 11788, as the only approved source. The rationale establishes that Seal Dynamics, LLC, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture; the item is complex with critical operational requirements; the Government does not possess manufacturing rights; and this item is the only one approved by the USCG Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The J&A notes that an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 has been assigned, confirming direct acquisition from the actual manufacturer. Fair and Reasonable Price Determination methods selected include market research, comparison of proposed price with prices found reasonable on previous purchases, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE (Independent Government Cost Estimate).
