Attachment 1 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000197.pdf

This is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) document using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) under FAR 13.106-1(b). The document justifies a sole source procurement for 8 Scissors Assembly units (NSN: 1615-01-159-4708, P/N: 70104-08020-046) required for the MH-60T aircraft maintenance from Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation in Stratford, CT.

The justification is based on Sikorsky being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who owns all technical data and manufacturing rights. The items require unique production techniques and extensive testing, making it uneconomical to purchase from other sources. The Coast Guard Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line will use various price determination methods including market research, comparison to previous purchases, current price lists, related industry comparisons, and IGCE to ensure fair and reasonable pricing. The document indicates an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3, confirming direct procurement from the manufacturer is required.
