Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03825QJ0000409.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) and Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Product Line intends to purchase 75 SAR Racks (National Stock Number 1560-01-HS3-4983, Part Number AMTC-R1121-BL) on a sole source basis for MH-60T aircraft maintenance. These items are required for replacement during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and damage.

The sole source vendor is Aerial Machine & Tool Corporation located in Meadows of Dan, Virginia. The justification is based on the company being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data, specifications, and drawings. The U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Engineering has assigned an Acquisition Method (AMC) code of 3, indicating direct procurement from the actual manufacturer. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, comparison with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar industry items.
