Attachment 2 - Redacted J and A - 70Z03826QJ0000027.pdf

This document is a U.S. Coast Guard Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (Simplified Acquisition Procedures) for a sole source procurement. The Coast Guard intends to purchase 7 support assemblies (with an option for 8 additional units) with National Stock Number 1560-01-HS2-7414 and Part Number 6074-A201-111-02 for the MH-60T aircraft from STRATA-G SOLUTIONS LLC in Huntsville, AL.

The justification is based on FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for "Only One Source Reasonably Available" and specifically states that STRATA-G SOLUTIONS is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) with exclusive rights to the technical data and specifications. The procurement is for replacement parts during routine maintenance due to failures, corrosion, and/or damage. The Coast Guard has determined this is a sole source acquisition because the item is complex, meets critical operational requirements, and can only be procured from this specific manufacturer. The contracting officer has verified the fair and reasonable price through multiple methods including market research, comparison to previous purchases, current price lists, and industry comparisons.
