Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000020.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 and Medium Range Recovery Product Line intends to purchase 4 Controllers, Air Pressure (Part Number 773040-2, National Stock Number 1660-01-164-4292) on a sole source basis from Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation located in Phoenix, Arizona.

The justification for the sole source acquisition is based on Hamilton Sundstrand being the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with full technical data rights and the only source approved by the USCG's Aircraft Configuration Control Board for this specific component used in the MH-60T helicopter. The procurement is deemed critical due to the complex production techniques required and the potential compromise of aircraft and aircrew safety if an alternative source is selected. The contracting officer will determine fair and reasonable pricing through methods including market research, price comparisons, current price lists, and industry comparisons.
