Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A (1).pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification and Approval form for Other than Full and Open Competition under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for FAR 12.102(a).

The acquisition seeks to procure 10 Low Profile Control Audio Panels (National Stock Number 5895-01-HS3-7929, Part Number 899-1200-004) on a sole source basis for the Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for use as replacement components during routine maintenance on MH-60T aircraft. The item is required due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The justification cites FAR 12.102(a) as the authority for sole source procurement, designating the item as "Only One Source Reasonably Available" based on urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, or industrial mobilization requirements. The suggested source is Telephonics Corp, located at 815 Broadhollow Road, Farmingdale, NY 11735-3937, with UEI NEKSUF38F83. The Coast Guard's rationale emphasizes that Telephonics Corp (Original Equipment Manufacturer) owns all technical data, specifications, and drawings required for manufacture and that the item is complex, requiring unique production techniques and extensive engineering. The item is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for MH-60T helicopter use, with an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of 3 assigned by USCG Aviation Engineering. Fair and reasonable price determination methods selected include market research, comparison of proposed price with previous purchases, current price list, comparison with similar items in related industries, and comparison to IGCE.
