Attachment 2- Redacted J and A- 70Z03825QJ0000417.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 3 Bladder Assembly units (National Stock Number 4730-01-HS2-9206, Part Number HM043-611-11) for an MH-60T aircraft. The procurement is specifically for a specialized item designed and manufactured by Robertson Fuel Systems, LLC in Tempe, Arizona.

The justification is based on a brand name/single source procurement, citing that the item is complex, must meet critical operational and reliability requirements, and requires unique production techniques. The U.S. Coast Guard has determined that this specific item is the only one approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for use on the MH-60T helicopter. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, price comparisons with previous purchases, current price lists, and comparison with similar items in related industries.
